Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to fear the jinn, or does this reach the level of shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا
