The Muslim Jinn’s Supplication in Times of Distress in the Desert

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some students of knowledge in India have disagreed on the issue of supplicating to a Muslim jinn in the desert. They say that if a calamity befalls a human Muslim in the desert, he may supplicate to a Muslim jinn.

Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. What makes you think it is permissible? How do you know that it is Muslim? How do you know that it is Muslim? Do you know the jinn?
This is an error. It is not permissible to supplicate to anyone other than Allah, neither to the jinn nor to humans, in times of distress or in times of need. It is not permissible to supplicate to humans or jinn. Only Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is to be supplicated to. They say they are Muslims, but how do you know that they are Muslims? Even if they were Muslims, you do not supplicate to the absent one. You do not supplicate to the absent one or the dead, even if he were Muslim. You only supplicate to one who is present and able to respond to you. You say to him, “Give me this” or “Help me with this,” provided it does not contradict . And Allah is the Helper of the servant; the place of the servant is that he is the helper of his brother. As for the absent one and the dead, among the jinn and humans, they are not to be supplicated to, and nothing is to be asked of them. Yes.
