Is the sensation of being half-awake and half-asleep, accompanied by body heat and an inability to speak or move, related to jinn possession?
We have no knowledge of the nature of this matter. However, we advise against extravagance and exaggeration concerning the issue of jinn possession, as much of what is imagined in this regard is mere illusion. If there are sleep problems, specialized doctors should be consulted. The hypothesis of jinn possession should not be resorted to except with strong evidence pointing to it. Ruqyah, by Allah's will, is beneficial for psychological and physical ailments, as well as for jinn possession.
