SYMPTOMS OF JINN POSSESSION
In Islamic teachings, jinn possession (Mas / مسّ) is believed to occur when a jinn influences or enters a human body. While this is acknowledged in Islamic scholarship, many symptoms can also be caused by medical or psychological conditions, so both medical evaluation and Islamic Ruqyah are recommended.
