26 Apr 2021MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth LatestDo obscene or blasphemous thoughts during prayer ruin my salah? Intrusive or blasphemous thoughts in prayer are not a reason to worry: noticing them is a sign of faith, as a hadith says. Mufti Abu Layth adds that jinn in the Quran means the unseen and possession stories are folklore. Discussionguest speechLupe Fiasco (guest)salahwuduwaswasa machine7 min 40 s1:31:29on YouTube
21 Nov 2020video If a jinn could possess me, how could I be blamed for anything? Satan's own words in 14:22, that he had no power over people and only invited them, rule out possession: if the devil could physically prevent prayer or cause harm, people could not be blamed and responsibility would collapse.

21 Nov 2020video What did classical scholars say about whether jinn can harm or possess people? Imam al-Shafi'i rejected the testimony of anyone claiming to see jinn, Ibn Hazm forbade adding to what Allah said about them, and al-Tahawi held that Satan can only insinuate, not harm; what is called possession is mental illness, and accepting it would void responsibility.

15 Apr 2018Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions What does the hadith 'Satan flows through the son of Adam like blood' mean? In context it is about suspicion: the Prophet said it after explaining to some men that the woman with him was his wife Safiyya, so it refers to the insinuations that pass through human minds, not to possession. Mufti Abu Layth adds that the exorcism trade is a large industry whose practitioners may nonetheless be sincere.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions If doctors cannot explain an illness, could it be a jinn? An illness doctors cannot explain is not thereby a jinn; that is a story made up without proof. The Quran attributes harm to Shaytan only in the sense that people follow his whispering, as in Ayyub's prayer, and forbids claiming what one has no knowledge of.
