Ok, so during the review session we discusses that C is the answer ... But I'm a bit confused on why its C instead of B ...

B, From the Sahih hadith we understand that By fastin, the Veins are Narrowed and thus it is uncomfortable for the Shaytan/Jinn, etc ... But how does that 'REMOVE' the Jinn

C, Its it not necissarily a HALAL way, but its def a legitmate way, The Magician may use another Jinn to take out the Jinn that is possessing an individual (eg: This is why some NonMuslim excorsisms may be succesful, not b/c the 'bible' is powerful, but instead b/c they are infact using Jinn themselves...

[BintTariq]

Baraq Allahu Feekum!... this really was beneficial especially for those of us who were unable to attend review sessions. alhamdulillah.
