Question:
There is a doctor in one of the neighboring countries who treats patients using doctors from the jinn. They come to the hospital, and this doctor puts them to sleep there, if Allah wills. He puts them to sleep there, and before putting them to sleep, he tells them the type of illness, then he plays Qur'an tapes for them so that they fall asleep, then he performs the operation for them using the Muslim jinn. The question is: What is your opinion of this practice? Is it permissible to seek the help of the Muslim jinn? Is it permissible to go to this doctor?

Answer:
This is a sorcerer and a fortune-teller, and it is not permissible to go to him. He falls under the category of fortune-tellers and sorcerers. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
or who goes to a fortuneteller and believes what he says, he has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad.من أتى كَاهِنًا فَصَدَّقَهُ بِمَا يَقُولُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ
Sunan Ibn Majah 639Hasan (Darussalam)
The jinn are absent; it is not permissible to seek the help of those who are absent. A scholar who is absent from us, it is not permissible to seek his help. Also, who guarantees that they are Muslims?
They may be from the Shayatins (devils) who want to mislead people. The fact is that this is a fortune-teller, and it is not permissible to go to him. And whoever goes to him falls under the hadith:
Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and believes in what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).من اتى كَاهِنًا فَصَدَّقَهُ بِمَا يَقُولُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 15:741
And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
One who practices fortune-telling, orليس منا من تكهن او
One who practices fortune-telling, or one for whom fortune-telling is practiced, or one who practices sorcery, or one for whom sorcery is practiced. Yes. He says: Honorable. Or one who takes omens, or one for whom omens are taken. Yes.
