The Ruling on Going to One Who Treats by Seeking the Aid of Jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh is not a person who treats according to the Sunnah. Ibn Qura'an claims that he has afflicted people and that those afflicted help him in that. What is the ruling on that, and what is the ruling on going to him?
Answer:
This is a liar, this is a liar. It is not permissible to seek the aid of the jinn or of the absent ones. And whoever says that it is permissible to seek the aid of the jinn and the Muslims, where is his evidence? Does he have evidence? Let him give us evidence from the Book of Allah or from the Sunnah of His Messenger. As for saying that so-and-so said it or so-and-so said it, the sayings of people require evidence, even if they are from the imams and the scholars. Their sayings are used as evidence for a ruling, not as evidence itself. And if it is said that some of the imams said it, then it is refuted. Seeking the aid of the jinn, the absent ones, and the dead are all of the same category; there is no training in that. Yes.
