To what extent is the existence of types of demonic possession, such as "the infatuated jinn," in strange places like "the womb" accurate, and are methods of treating it with specific supplications, a certain number of repetitions, and the consumption of particular foods valid? Is this charlatanism, or does it have a legitimate religious basis?
is permissible under certain conditions: that it be from the Quran and or كلام معلوم المعنى (words with known meanings), that it does not contain anything forbidden or obscure words, and that one does not believe in its inherent power but rather that it is a means. Ruqyah with specific supplications and their repetition a certain number of times is permissible if its benefit is proven by experience, and it does not contain anything forbidden or obscure words, even if it is not from the texts of the Quran and Sunnah, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Present your ruqyah to me. There is no harm in ruqyah as long as it does not involve (polytheism)." One must avoid charlatans and sorcerers and warn against them.
