Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who seeks the help of the jinn in knowing the unseen matters?
Answer:
This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah (Mighty and Majestic).[Al-Jinn 72:6] One does not seek the help of the jinn, nor of the absent, nor of the dead. One only seeks the help of the living, present one in what he is capable of, under these conditions: a living, present one in what he is capable of. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who seeks the help of the jinn in knowing the unseen matters?
Answer:
This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
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
