The ruling on phrases like “seize him” and “break his neck,” and whether they constitute calling upon the jinn

The questioner:
The questioner says: There are phrases like “seize him,” or “break his neck,” or “take him.” Is that considered calling upon the jinn?

The Shaykh:
Yes, calling upon an absent person, whether from the jinn or from the children of Adam while he is absent, is prohibited; because it is seeking aid from other than Allah and seeking help from other than Allah.

The questioner:
He says, completing the question, O Shaykh: Is it obligatory to pronounce the testimony of faith after that? Is it obligatory for him to pronounce the testimony of faith after this command?

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for him to repent to Allah. If he was ignorant, repentance is sufficient. But if he did this intentionally, he must enter Islam anew. Yes.

The questioner:
Also completing the question, he says: Is Satan to be cursed, or should one seek refuge from him?

The Shaykh:
One should seek refuge from him. As for cursing him, he is already cursed by Allah. You are not adding to the curse of Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Then it is mentioned in the hadith that he becomes arrogant in himself; if a person curses him, he becomes arrogant in himself and says, “I have harmed the son of Adam,” or something like that. So a person should not occupy himself with cursing Satan himself. He should not follow Satan. He should blame himself, not Satan. Do not blame us, blame yourselves. So he should focus on himself and seek refuge from Satan. Cursing Satan does not benefit him anything. Satan is already cursed. That is enough. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
