With regard to the jinn harming humans, this is proven to happen and it
does happen. Protection against that is attained by reciting Qur'aan and
adhkaar (dhikr) prescribed in sharee'ah.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
"Undoubtedly
the jinn can have a harmful effect on humans, and they could even kill
them. They may harm a person by throwing stones at him, or by trying to
terrify him, and other things that are proven in the Sunnah or indicated
by real events. It was reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) gave permission to one of his Companions to go
to his wife during one of the military campaigns - I think it was the
campaign of al-Khandaq - as he was a young man who had recently got
married. When he reached his house, he found his wife standing at the
door, and he objected to that. She said to him, 'Go inside,' so he went
inside and found a snake curled up on the bed. He had a spear with him,
so he stabbed it with the spear until it died, and at the same instant
as the snake died the man also died. It was not known which of them died
first, the snake or the man. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) heard of that, he forbade killing the harmless kinds
of snakes that are found in houses, apart from those which are maimed
or are streaked and malignant.
This indicates that the jinn may
attack humans, and that they may harm them, as is known from real-life
events. There are numerous reports which indicate that a man may come to
a deserted area, and a stone may be thrown at him, but he does not see
anybody, or he may hear voices or a rustling sound like the rustling of
trees, and other things that may make him feel distressed and scared. A
jinn may also enter the body of a human, either because of love or with
the intention of harming him, or for some other reason. This is
indicated in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
'Those
who eat Ribaa will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like
the standing of a person beaten by Shaytaan (Satan) leading him to
insanity'[al-Baqarah 2:275]
In such cases, the jinn may speak
from inside of that person and address the one who is reading verses
from the Qur'aan over him; the reciter may take a promise from the jinn
never to come back, and other things concerning which there are very
many reports which are widespread among the people.
