After posting part one and part two, here is the 3rd interview in the exorcism series:

INTERVIEW NO. 3
Location: Cairo,
Egypt
Date:10/8/88

Name: Sa’eed Muhammad
Date Of Birth: 1946
Education: Diploma from the `Ibaad ad-Du’aa’ Institute

Q. When did you begin practicing exorcism?
A. I begin practicing more than ten years ago.

Q. What caused you to begin?
A. It began when the wife of my brother became afflicted with
continual vaginal bleeding that the doctors were unable to treat. As
you know, there is a prophetic tradition in which a woman came to
the Prophet (PBUH) and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman
whose blood flows continually.” He said to her, “It is due to a
blow struck by the devil.” That is, the devil has some influence in
this area. Perhaps it was due to a fit (mass) or perhaps she was
bewitched, both of which are manifestations of the jinn in the body.
There is a hadeeth saying that the devil flows in the bloodstream of
Adam’s descendants. Because of this, I recited over her al-
Faatihah; the first five verses of Soorah al Baqarah; “wa ilaahukum
ilaahun waahid…., (Qur’aan 2:163) verse 255 of al-
Baqarah; “shahidallaahu annahoo laa ilaaha illaa hoo……” from Soorah
Aal Imraan; (Qur’aan 3:18) ” rabbukumullaah….” From Soorah al-
A’raaf (Qur’aan 7:54) “afahsibtum…” from Soorah al-Mu’minoon;
(Qur’aan 23:115) the closing verses of Soorah al-Hashr, and three
verses from Soorah al-Jinn. The jinnee in her manifested itself and
spoke to me. I realized that it was a male jinnee. It said that it
came to her when she cried in the dark because her husband had
traveled. My brother’s complaint was that whenever her approached
his wife, she would begin to bleed even thought it was not the time
of her menses. In the end, after my recitation, I found that the
jinnee was not a Muslim. I invited him to Islam, and he accepted and
then left her.

Q. Was his voice different from your bother’s wife’s voice?
A. Yes, it was the voice of a male.

Q. How old was the woman?
A. She was 25 years old. It is the Qur’anic verses which can control
the jinn, Muslim or on-Muslim. Some are rebellious and others are
Muslim. Sometimes it may argue with the exorcist himself. We see
that the churches are filled with magic, for when we ask the jinn
questions, they say that they came from the church of George’s
family. And the jinn are tough and try to destroy whoever is in
their presence.

Q. What percentage of the cases are true, demonic possession?
A. Some are imaginary. Women often imagine that someone has
bewitched them or that the change of their husbands treatment is due
to a magic spell put upon their husbands.
The first sign of real possession in a woman is
that her menses become irregular. She also feels a kind of
suffocation which is quite different from psychological depression
or medical asphyxia. It comes to her at night in the form of a
nightmare, even if she is regular in her formal prayers and uses the
prescribed daily supplications. At the end of her treatment she
listens to a tape of the verses which I mentioned earlier. When she
listens to the tape alone, she discovers her life changing. She
becomes imbalanced at first. In the beginning, I greet the jinnee
with salutations of peace. If it is a Muslim, it replies, and if
not, it does not reply. I then begin to address it with any other
greetings, and it replies, informing me that it is not a Muslim.
After speaking to it, it leaves the woman, freeing her from all of
the afflicting pains, from headaches to infertility and other
symptoms which doctors are unable to cure.
On one occasion during an argument between a
woman and her husband, the wife lost her speech. Her tongue refused
to function, and she became very depressed. She saw a doctor who was
unable to determine the medical cause, so he sent her to me. I
recited over her the verses I mentioned earlier and called the
athaan. At the end of the athaan, the woman began to speak again.
She made the declaration of faith (shahaadah), and the jinnee left
her.

Q. From your experience, what are the reasons why jinn possess
people?
A. Jinn enter human bodies when man commits error. However, if he
lives according to the Qur’aan and the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH)
and uses the prescribed supplications and prayer shields
(tahassunaat) which the Prophet (PBUH) taught us, he will not be
afflicted by the jinn. The jinn may afflict one who is far from
supplications, the Sunnah and Qura’nic recitation. Such an
affliction can be quite destructive. Sometimes when marital partners
argue for no reason, the husband will report that he saw his wife
looking quite unnatural, and she will say likewise about him. This
is form of magical spell called “the reversal” (qalb) it existed
during the era of Moses and is still around today. The wife may
become possessed or bewitched. When a jinnee enters a human body, it
wishes the body to remain in its possession. It may practice evil
with the woman in her ear eating and drinking habits, in her sleep,
etc. It may enter the toilet with her when she goes to relive
herself. If you ask her if she spends along time in the toilet
relieving herself, she will reply, “Yes I do although I do not need
to spend all of that time in there.” This is because the jinn want
her in that state in order to see her exposed private parts.

Q. What are the other reasons?
A. The jinn may fall in love with a woman. When we perform
intercourse, we are supposed to say, ” O Allah, remove the devil
from us and form whatever offspring You provide us.” It may be
deduced from this prayer that the devil may take part when a man has
intercourse with his wife. As Allah, Most Great and Glorious, said
to Satan in Soorah al-Israa’.

“Share in their wealth and children……” (Qur’aan 17:64)

Satan does not have power over the true servants of Allah who pray
regularly and read the Qur’aan. When you enter a house, you may find
most of its occupants are afflicted with some sort of demonic
possession (mass). And when you ask the head of the household if he
prays, he will say no. The house ruins and thus the devil enters.

Q. What is the percentage of possessed women in relationship to men?
A. The greater majority are women, about 95 percent, because they
like to adorn themselves, display their beauty, and are disobedient.
I have only encountered one possessed woman who was pious. She
attended one of my lectures and after I recited the verses, we heard
her scream. She was known to pray regularly and had memorized much
of the Qur’aan, so I asked her what was wrong with her, and she
replied in a man’s voice, “I am Alee.” I asked him, “Are you a
Muslim?” and he replied yes.” “How did you enter her?” He said, ”
She poured hot water outside and hurt me.” I told him, “Get out!”
and he left. She was 28 years old.

Q. How did you know that she was possessed?
A. She said that when she poured the hot water she felt as though
there was fire in her left leg. Some people sense the jinn’s
entrance while others do not.

Q. From your experience, do male jinn enter woman and female jinn
enter men?
A. If a woman harms a female jinnee, it will enter her. Sometimes we
have found both male and female jinn inside of a single person.
Sometimes, when you say to it, “Send out So-an-so,” it turns out to
be only one jinnee pretending to be different people.

Q. It is most common for a male jinn to affect a woman?
A. Yes. It is the usual case for women to be possessed by male jinn
and men by female jinn. I saw one case in which a man was possessed
by a female jinnee who was a non Muslim. He used to have terrible
fits whenever he recited the Qur’aan. I told her that he was going
to get married soon and she screamed. After great effort, she was
made to leave.

Q. Are possessing jinn usually Muslims or non-Muslims?
A. In reality, jinn may be both. But Muslim jinn only enter if they
are hurt, while non-Muslim jinn will enter whether hurt or not. Most
often they are non-Muslims.

Q. Do the jinn settle in a particular portion of the human body?
A. Usually they spread throughout the whole body. The Prophet (PBUH)
said, “Certainly the devil flows in the veins of Adam’s
descendants.” And in another narration, “Satan circulates in Adams
descendents like blood.” In some cases, I ask the jinnee to
congregate in one specific place.

Q. Have you experienced any attempt to posses you?
A. The jinn have tribes and families. They are just like us. They
will try to take revenge on the one who removes them. One time, they
tired to affect my son Ahmad.
