What is the interpretation of a condition that involves obsessive thoughts about jinn along with accompanying psychological responses?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The treatment for obsessive thoughts is to ignore them, not to dwell on them, and to occupy oneself with what is beneficial, whether it be knowledge, righteous deeds, or permissible recreation. One should avoid isolating oneself and instead frequently engage in the remembrance of Allah and seek refuge from Satan. There is no harm in consulting mental health specialists.
