Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a Muslim jinn performs a service for a righteous Muslim, is that considered a karamah?
Answer:
This door should not be opened. It is said that a Muslim jinn serves a human Muslim, but if this door is opened, much evil will result from the use of jinn. Who can prove that this jinn is Muslim? One may claim to be Muslim when he is not, for the sake of deception and misguidance. Therefore, it is obligatory to leave this door closed and stay away from it. The Muslim should seek help from Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and there is no harm in seeking help from his human brothers to assist him in works they are capable of doing.
Cooperation among Muslims is prescribed. Cooperate in righteousness and piety. You seek assistance with wealth, you seek assistance with work from your brothers, you seek assistance with status and intercession with the people of status and with those in authority. This is a good matter of cooperation in righteousness and piety. Allah is the helper of the servant as long as the servant is the helper of his brother. As for seeking help from jinn, they are a different species from the humans, so it is not permissible to seek help from them, because this opens the door to great evil. Everyone claims he seeks help from Muslims, and the jinn claim they are Muslims for the sake of deception and misguidance. Yes.
