What is the ruling on seeking the help of Muslim jinn?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How is seeking refuge from the Muslim [jinn] done during ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)?

Answer:
It is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn, nor of the dead, nor of those who are absent. Seeking help is only permissible from a living person who is present and capable of helping. As for the jinn, the absent, or the dead, it is not permissible to seek their help, and this is one of the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah).
