Can a person be bewitched if they suffer from shortness of breath and disturbing dreams, even though repeated medical examinations show no organic cause?
Magic has apparent symptoms such as a man being prevented from having intercourse with his wife, imagining things that did not happen, excessive forgetfulness, and shortness of breath, as happened to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It may also have hidden symptoms such as terrifying visions and nightmares. However, these symptoms do not indicate magic with certainty. A person can perform ruqyah (exorcism) on themselves with the Quran, or seek ruqyah from someone known for their righteousness and sound belief.
