The answer

It is possible for a jinn to cohabit with a human female, and likewise, a jinn can harm a human female and cause her to expose herself, as was mentioned in the story of the woman who used to have seizures and expose herself, and the Prophet's supplication for her. Seizures are of two types: seizures caused by evil spirits, and seizures caused by bad humors. The treatment for seizures caused by spirits involves confronting the evil spirits with noble and good spirits, and this requires the afflicted person to have strength of self and sincerity in their devotion to Allah, and to seek refuge (with Allah) correctly, with both heart and tongue in agreement.
