Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is fear of the jinn and their harm to the servant considered shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
Fear that they may harm you, and seeking refuge in Allah and reciting the prescribed supplications, this is good. They do cause harm; may Allah protect you from their evil. If they overpower you, it is because Allah has empowered them to do so. So you ward them off by relying on Allah, worshipping Allah, and reciting the morning and evening adhkar. Yes.
