A viral video showing a female Islamic preacher casting out ‘evil spirits’ from a woman, has stirred debate.
The preacher, fully covered in her hijab, begins her exorcism by reciting some Islamic prayers, then lay hands on the head of the ‘demon possessed’ woman before casting out the so-called evil powers.
Many Muslims have reacted to the video, saying it is not an Islamic practice for a preacher to cast out demons and sickness like the way Pentecostal pastors do.
One commenter, a Muslim named Asiyah Aisha Alubankudi who shared the video, said: “This is embarrassing, reluctant to post but action must be taken ASAP. This lady should be cautioned immediately before she starts deceiving gullible youths. This is unislamic and our Imams should intervene quickly. I’m even confused, I don’t know if they’re Muslims.”
