Could there be a jinn in my home?

As-salamu alaykum. I’m a 21-year-old woman and I’ve been having some strange things happen in my house for a few months now. It started with this odd thing where whenever I’m alone or in the dark I suddenly smell a very strong, beautiful perfume right next to my face, even though nobody here wears anything like that (low-key want to find that perfume though). It feels like someone just walked past me. The scent is different sometimes, which makes it even weirder. I also keep hearing scratching in the walls, but this is a new house so it shouldn’t be pests. The noise is loud enough, yet whenever I try to show someone else they don’t hear it and when I look it seems to stop. I asked my sister to listen and she thought I was being dramatic. I honestly checked for rodents and there’s nothing. There’s more: I’ve been having nightmares I can’t remember clearly, but I always wake up anxious and unsettled like I watched a scary film in my sleep. My hair has been falling out a lot too - it’s in clumps and it’s frightening. At first I kept seeing things move from the corner of my eye or pass right by me when I was looking at my phone. They looked like dark shadows. It happened so often I couldn’t just call it coincidence. We always have Quran recitation playing on the TV while we sleep, so I’m not sure why this is happening. I was actually so nervous writing this that I had to turn the light on. I’m sharing this because I don’t know what to do next. Any dua suggestions, ruqyah tips, or practical steps from anyone who’s dealt with something similar would be really appreciated. JazakAllah khair.

Girl same on the anxiety after weird dreams, been there. For me reciting Ayat al-Kursi before bed made a big difference. Also maybe invite a trusted elder to do ruqyah in person. Don’t let your sister gaslight you, your feelings matter.

I’d scan the house for any drafts or hidden vents - smells can come from odd places. But spiritually, keep morning and evening adhkar, blow over yourself after wudu, and try to sleep with Quran recitation at normal volume. Take care of your hair health too, stress can do that.

Oh no, that perfume thing would freak me out but kinda curious lol. Seriously though, keep recording noises on your phone when it happens and don’t go into dark rooms alone if you’re scared. Reach out to a local scholar for ruqyah and stay safe. Praying for you ♥️

Wa alaikum salaam, that sounds so scary - I’d start with gentle ruqyah at home and make dua for protection every morning and night. Also try salt by doorways and check wiring/vents just in case. Sending dua and hugs, I’ve had weird smells too and it helped to be consistent with dua.
