Question: If the Jinn can possess
women who go to graveyards wearing perfume, then can psychiatry help them?
Sometimes Pirs may help for they might have the art to do so.
Answer: It is for the psychologists
and psychiatrists to decide whether they can be of any help in these cases.
Probably, they will have to first agree that there are jinn involved at
least in some such cases. I also feel that the discipline of psychology
can help even without a formal acknowledgement that the jinn are involved
in some disorders, because the involvement of these creatures is only indirect
and invisible, and the harm they cause is something the experts can observe.
If they start working on the cure, it can still be effective. It is for
instance not always necessary for a doctor to know what caused a certain
injury to the patient for him to cure it. A heart specialist would not
always know what domestic problem caused the anxiety in his patients which
was the ultimate cause of the problem. He can start curing on identifying
the apparent condition of the patient.
Going to a Pir for curing the
problem is however a completely different ball game. There, you have no
known rules. Everything is based on a mysterious trust in an individual,
whose modus operandi and intentions are both completely unknown. Moreover,
they are very likely to cause religious harm, which one ought to avoid
under all circumstances. Therefore, one should be very careful in going
to them.
