Yes, I absolutely believe there's a place for it. In other threads, I mentioned how I was raised in a Muslim household (although we weren't very observant in terms of practising). Anyway, in Islam it teaches that evil spirits (jiin) can enter a house if they keep a dog inside. The dog in Islam is a symbol of the animalistic and depraved. Once they enter, they can get into people's bodies unless they say a prayer to ward them off.
Muslims believe God created jiin, or jinoon (plural) from smokeless fire. I believe they entered my house and body when my mum decided to keep dogs when my dad was working abroad and she had an 8 year affair- obviously behind his back- and spent all his money on her partner that was intended for us.
