What is the ruling on breaking sorcery with sorcery, and what is the ruling on seeking the help of the jinn?

Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I am asking about breaking sorcery with sorcery, and seeking the help of the Muslim jinn in treating the sorcery-affected and the envious. We ask the Shaykh to answer on this topic, because many people have been afflicted with this issue.

Answer:
Sorcery is forbidden and disbelief, because Allah named it disbelief and threatened the sorcerers, saying So sorcery is invalid and disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and the sorcerer is not, he has no share in Paradise, as in the verse. There are various indications that sorcery is disbelief: that it is forbidden, and that learning it and teaching it is disbelief. But the devils disbelieved and they teach; they teach people sorcery, they teach people sorcery, so teaching sorcery is disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And the two angels say to the one who wants to learn from them meaning, so do not learn sorcery. Their advice indicates that sorcery is disbelief: learning it, teaching it, and using it for treatment is also disbelief, because it is not permissible to seek treatment through disbelief, nor is it permissible to seek treatment through what is forbidden, even if it does not reach the level of disbelief. Seek treatment, but do not seek treatment with what is forbidden, as in the hadith. And sorcery is more severe than what is forbidden because it is disbelief, so it is not permissible to seek treatment with sorcery, and sorcery is not resolved by similar sorcery; rather, sorcery is resolved by the lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), dhikr (the remembrance of Allah), and permissible medicines. This is what [Allah] sent down: He did not send down a disease except that He sent down for it a cure, for sorcery and others.
So one should resort to what is permissible that Allah the Exalted and Sublime sent down for treating sorcery. It is not permissible to go to sorcerers, it is not permissible to go to sorcerers, nor to fortune-tellers, nor to astrologers. Whoever goes to a fortune-teller or a diviner and asks him about something and believes what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is not permissible to go to sorcerers, magicians, and false prophets for treatment from them, for they are liars and sorcerers. It is not permissible to go to them, and treatment is done with what Allah the Exalted and Sublime has made permissible, namely the lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and permissible medicines. So Allah has made the Muslims rich with His lawful things, so they do not need His forbidden things. Therefore, it is not permissible to seek treatment with sorcery.
It is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn, nor of the absent. It is not permissible to seek help except from one who is present and capable of helping. As for the absent and the dead, they are not to be sought for help in any way, and the jinn are not to be sought for help. Even if it is said that they are Muslims, who proves that they are Muslims? Who proves this? These are matters from which one must be cautious, and one must stay away from them and warn against them. Yes.
