Exerting effort to expel devils and treat illnesses is permissible through ruqyah shar'iyyah (Islamic incantations) and permissible, tried and tested remedies. However, treatment through dealing with jinn is religiously forbidden. As for inspiration (ilham), it may occur to some of Allah's servants, and it can be trusted in ordinary matters if its recipient is a just person adhering to the Sunnah. Nevertheless, it is not to be acted upon in matters of sharia.
