Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man uses jinn in treatment and calls them shaykhs, and he says, "I am not a sorcerer."

Answer:
They are his shaykhs, not the other way around. Yes, they are his shaykhs and he receives from them.
(221) Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend? (222) They descend upon every sinful liar.هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:221-222]
This is of that type. They are his shaykhs. Yes.
