Books about Jinn


705

Q: Books which discuss issues of Jinn (creatures created from fire) have gained popularity. Whenever a person is possessed by Jinn, he goes to the one who treats with Ruqyah (reciting Qur'an and supplications over the sick as a cure). What the sick person says while Ruqyah is being recited over him is recorded. These writings are published in books such as "An Interview with a Muslim Jinni", written by Mustafa Kanjour, "Beware! Al-Masih Al-Dajjal will invade the world from the Bermuda Triangle" by Muhammad `Isa Dawud and many others. What is the ruling on these books? A: The Committee has previously looked into the book entitled "An Interview with a Muslim Jinni" and found that it is based on illusions and lies. Therefore, publishing and selling this book is impermissible as it is harmful and misleads people.As for the book entitled "Beware! Al-Masih Al-Dajjal will invade the world from the Bermuda Triangle", the Committee has yet to read it. (Part No. 2; Page No. 271
