Is it possible for a person afflicted by magic, jinn possession, or demonic epilepsy to take off their clothes, and is there any evidence for this from reality or tradition?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A person afflicted with epilepsy might take off their clothes due to losing their mind or flailing about. An example of this is the black woman who came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "I suffer from epilepsy, and I become uncovered." So the Prophet supplicated for her that she would not become uncovered.
