The ruling on seeking the aid of jinn in uncovering sorcery

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some people are ignorant of the recitation and they seek the aid of the jinn. They say, "This is a Muslim jinn," and they ask him about the location of the sorcery. Is there a word on this matter?

Answer:
One does not seek the aid of the jinn, whether they are Muslim or not. And who can tell us that he is Muslim? He says he is Muslim, and he is a liar. He says he is Muslim, and he is a liar, in order to intervene with the humans and to block this door from the start. It is not permissible to seek the aid of the jinn, nor to say that they are Muslims, because this opens the door. Seeking the aid of an absent one is not permissible, whether he is a jinn or not, whether he is Muslim or not. Seeking the aid of an absent one is not permissible. One only seeks the aid of the present one who is able to help, the present one who is able to help, as Allah the Exalted said regarding Musa: They are hostile. This one is present and able to provide aid, so there is no harm in this; it is among ordinary matters. But an absent one whom you do not see, whom you call out to and seek aid from, this is not what should be done. Yes.
