Is it rationally impossible for jinn to enter the human body due to the difference in the origin of creation, as humans were created from clay and jinn from fire, and that devils possess only the ability to whisper and have no authority over humans, and that the circulating videos are not evidence of this?

The entry of Jinn into the human body is established by the Quran, the Sunnah, and the consensus of the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah (Sunni Muslims). This is supported by Allah's statement: "Those who consume interest will not stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity" (Quran 2:275), and the Hadith: "Indeed, Satan flows through the son of Adam like blood." Jinn possession may arise from lust, hatred, or mischief. Its treatment involves the remembrance of Allah (Dhikr), reading the Quran, warning the addressed Jinn, rebuking it, insulting it, threatening it, and cursing it if it does not desist.
