Inside an Islamic ‘exorcism’

Sheffield imam reveals how he ‘casts out evil from a possessed woman’, solves drugs problems and cures period pains for £60 by quoting the Quran and spitting holy water

A British imam has allowed cameras into his mosque to reveal how he carries out Islamic ‘exorcisms’ - ridding a woman of evil spirits for £60 by quoting the Quran and spitting holy water in her face.

Footage shows one of thousands of ceremonies carried out every year in the UK, where imams seek to rid people of evil spirits or ‘jinn’ they believe to be inside them.

Imam Ayoub Tayeb, 42, charges £60 for his ‘exorcisms’ at his mosque in the Burngreave area of Sheffield.

Footage shows one young Muslim woman dressed in a burqa trying to get rid of evil spirits she believes are caused by black magic.
