2 Sharʿī Methods for Protection from Jinns and Recommended Books
Source: Fatāwā al-ʿIlmiyyah, Volume 1, Kitāb al-Duʿāʾ, Page 485
Surah al-Jinn affirms the real existence of jinn. Are they more powerful than humans? How can a practicing Muslim protect themselves from them?
Additionally, some people claim to see mysterious beings like spirits or fairies. Others describe a choking sensation during sleep that renders them unable to move or cry out. Is there any explanation for these phenomena in light of the Qur’an and Sunnah?
The recitation of Surah al-Baqarah is an effective means of safeguarding oneself from the evil of jinn and devils.
