Did Jibril ask the jinn about the location of the sorcery?

Question:
May Allah reward you. This is a question from Morocco. It says that there is a person who permits asking the jinn about the location of sorcery, and claims that Jibril did so, and that this is lawful sorcery. What is your response? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is a lie. Jibril did not ask the jinn about the location of the sorcery. Rather, Allah the Exalted guided His Prophet to the location of the sorcery by sending down the angels to recite ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The angels informed the Messenger of the location of the sorcery, so he sent someone to extract it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) destroyed it. We have not asked the jinn where it is. How can it be said that the angels asked the jinn about the location of the sorcery? This is among the lies. It is Allah who informed them of it, and He is the Knower of the unseen (Glorified and Exalted is He); nothing is hidden from Him. We have no need to ask the jinn.
