Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to seek the help of the jinn to treat a person afflicted with sorcery?

Answer:
It is not permissible to seek the help of absent beings, such as the jinn, the dead, or others. It is not permissible to seek the help of absent beings. The healing of diseases is in the hand of Allah; no one can heal the sick, neither a jinn nor a human.
Say, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]."قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُم مِّن دُونِهِ فَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيلًا
[Al-Isra 17:56]
And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Himوَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ
[Al-An'am 6:17]
And if He touches you with good - then He is over all things competent.وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
[Al-An'am 6:17]
, healing is in the hand of Allah, and if you become ill, He is the One who heals you. And this is for the. Ahh.
through supplication and lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), and this is through permissible medicines and surgical operations, as for forbidden matters, it is not permissible to seek treatment with them.
