Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, seeking the help of the jinn in what they are capable of, is that a matter that corrupts the creed?
The Shaykh:
Seeking help with what?
The questioner:
With the jinn in what they are capable of, he says, is that a matter that corrupts the creed?
The Shaykh:
No, yes, it corrupts the creed. Seek help from Allah and do not seek help from the jinn, nor from those who are absent, nor from the dead. Seek help from Allah the Exalted. Seeking help from a living creature that is present with you and is capable, there is nothing wrong with seeking help from it. But seeking help from the dead, seeking help from the absent, seeking help from the jinn, all of this is not permissible.
