Ruuxan

[SOULSEARCHING]

Why in somali culture when someone has ruuxaan they burn foox and make the person eat popcorn?

And what is ruuxan?

I didn’t know they did this? I thought ruuxaan was just a term of phrase for when people have a strong sixth sense or appear capricious.

It's what they do, i don't know if it is cultural or Islamic. It calms them down.

 

[Abu Hesi]

Ruuxaan, mingis, boorane are all the same. Just another names for demons, May Allah curse them

 

[Ciyaalka Xaafada]

Popcorn?

It‘s shirk, they basically give the jinn what they want and sometimes even do animal sacrifices for them.
