Q. If someone watches a movie that deals with jinns, is there a possibility that they could get possessed? If yes what signs do I have to look for? What if the person wakes up at night, doesn’t blink, just sits there watching and when asleep they are pinned to the bed and not remembering anything when they wake up? Is this possession?
A. Due to the nature of the evils that are present, in and around a person, there is a possibility that one can be affected and possessed by a jinn. An apparent sign is when people doesn’t seem to be in their right senses. They may speak of strange things, they may speak in a strange manner with a change of voice. They may look at you in a strange way and may just sit on one spot in a dazed manner. All these can be signs of possession.
And Allah knows best.
