The Ruling on Supplicating to the Jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The one who argues that supplicating to the jinn is not shirk (associating partners with Allah) does so with two arguments. The first argument is that the jinn is not a guide, and the second argument is that it may be capable of doing what is asked of it. What is the guidance on this?
Answer:
As for the one who is absent, the meaning of the absent one is the one you do not see, so he is absent from you.[Al-A'raf 7:27] So he is absent; this is one aspect. The second aspect is that if he were present, one does not ask the present one for what only Allah is capable of doing. One does not ask, neither the present one nor the absent one, for the healing of the blind, the sending down of rain, the bringing of blessing, or the repelling of harm. All of this is not asked of anyone but Allah. One does not ask anyone else, neither the present one nor the absent one.

Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them
