Are those who treat with the Qur’an considered mujahideen (strugglers in the path of Allah Almighty) when they fight disbelieving jinn and break spells, and do they attain the reward of a martyr if they die during that?
Ibn Taymiyyah says that ruqyah for the sick, those afflicted by jinn, and epileptics, is among the best deeds, and among the actions of the prophets and righteous people. Christ and our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, both did that. He also states that whoever is killed while defending himself or his Muslim brothers is a martyr. And whoever follows the path of justice in repelling the enmity of the jinn will not be harmed by them, and he is a mujahid (striver) in the path of Allah. And if someone is killed by jinn or afflicted by an illness because of them, Allah is asked for martyrdom for him in the Hereafter. However, in this world, he is washed, shrouded, and prayed over like others.
