Does the name "Wajd" mean heartburn, and is it one of the names of the jinn that afflicts its bearer with diseases leading to destruction?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The word "al-wajd" is an Arabic word meaning intense love. It may also mean wealth, as in the Almighty's saying: "Lodge them where you dwell, according to your means." There is no truth to it being one of the names of jinn or that its possessor is afflicted with diseases that lead to his demise; this is a form of superstition.
