The Ruling on Seeking the Help of Muslim Jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: There are Muslim jinn. Is it permissible to deal with them in matters of good, such as having them help us stand up for prayer? And is there a jihad that is obligatory upon the jinn?
Answer:
It is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn, the absent, or the dead. This is not permissible. And how can one know that they are Muslims? They may claim to be Muslims, but they are Shayatins (devils). Therefore, it is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn, even if they claim to be Muslims.[Al-Jinn 72:6], that [Al-Jinn 72:6], [Al-An'am 6:128-129]. Therefore, it is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn in any case. Yes, in order to block this door. Yes.

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّso they [only] increased them in burden.
فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا(128) And [mention, O Muhammad], the Day when He will gather them together [and say], "O company of jinn, you have [misled] many of mankind." And their allies among mankind will say, "Our Lord, some of us made use of others, and we have [now] reached our term, which you appointed for us." He will say, "The Fire is your residence, wherein you will abide eternally, except for what Allah wills. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing." (129) And thus will We make some of the wrongdoers allies of others for what they used to earn.
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِ وَقَالَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِ رَبَّنَا اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنَا بِبَعْضٍ وَبَلَغْنَا أَجَلَنَا الَّذِي أَجَّلْتَ لَنَا قَالَ النَّارُ مَثْوَاكُمْ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُوَلِّي بَعْضَ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضًا بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَThe presenter:
