can i use jquery along with React js?

i am working in a project where i will get designs from some other team.i have some cases where i have to add class to apply css.

for eg - to toggle popup i have to add/remove is-hidden class to popup.i can do this with the help of state.

in some situation i have to add class to a different component(in different file not related to current file) or even to body tag. how to achieve this.i hope i can do this through jquery .

is that right thought ? or i have to find some other way ?
