I am a Muslim woman living in Europe. I have been living in my home
for a year. Few months ago I noticed that some things are disappearing
from my home. Initially I did not care about it. Butsomething returned
after it disappeared, I have been looking for this thing for three
months in the same place where I found it eventually. I became really
frightened and started to remember all things that disappeared before.
My heart is full offear and doubt. Are there devils or something in
this house?I pray regularly and readQuran daily, Alhamdulillah. I may
neglect the daily adhkaar sometimes but now I am Alhamdulillah regular
in saying them. I still fear for myself and family. Shall I leave this
home or not? I cannot tolerate living here anymore, I am really tired,
please help me.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
You have done well to pray regularly and reciteQur'aan daily, because
these are among the best of deeds and meansof protection against
destructive and harmful things. We ask Allaah to protect you and give
youwell being in your religious and worldly affairs.
Secondly:
If you are certain that some things have disappeared from your house,
and that no one who lives with you has taken something for some
reason, and that has happened repeatedly, then it is not unlikely that
that was done by the jinn, because there are good and bad among them,
and there are some who steal for themselves or for others. But the
remedy for that is simple, praise be to Allaah. If you mention the
name of Allaah whenyou put something down, and you say the name of
Allaah when you enter the house, andwhen you shut the door,then the
jinn will have no way of entering your house or taking any of your
things.
Muslim (2018) narrated from Jaabir ibn 'Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be
pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) say: "When a man enters his house, and mentions
Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, when he enters and when he
eats, the shaytaan says: 'You have no place to stay and no dinner.'
But if he enters and does not mention Allaah when he enters, the
shaytaan says, 'You have found a place to stay.' And if he does not
mention Allaah when he eats, he says: 'You have found a place to stay
and dinner.'"
And Muslim (2012) narrated from Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him
that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: "Cover vessels, tie up waterskins, close doors and
extinguish lamps, for the shaytaan does not undo waterskins or open
doors or uncover vessels.If one of you cannot findanything but a stick
to place over his vessels, or to mention the name of Allaah, let him
do so…"
Al-Bukhaari (3280) narrated it with the wording: "Shut your door and
mention the name of Allaah; extinguish your lamps and mention the name
of Allaah; tie up your waterskins and mention the name of Allaah;
cover your vessels and mention the name of Allaah, even if you just
place something on top of it."
Based on this, if you shutthe door and mention the name of Allaah, and
you put your things in a box, for example, and say the name of Allaah,
then they will be protected, in sha Allaah, because the shaytaan
cannot upon a door or uncover a vessel.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, concerning
the lessons learned from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah and his
conversation with the jinni who was stealing from the zakaah dates:
The jinn eat human food, and they speak human words, and they steal
and cheat. It also points to the virtue of Aayat al-Kursiy and the
virtue of the last verses of Soorat al-Baqarah, and tells us that the
jinn can get food over which the name of Allaah has not been
mentioned. End quote.
If you take these means, but you still do not feel comfortable staying
in the house, then it is better to look for another house. Abu Dawood
(3942) narratedthat Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him)
said: A man said: O Messenger of Allaah, we lived in a house and we
were great in number and wealthy, then we movedto another house where
our numbers and our wealth grew less. The Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Leave it for it is bad."
Classed as hasan byal-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
