The Ruling on Seeking Help from the Muslim Jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to seek help from the Muslim jinn? And did Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah state that he permitted that?
Answer:
I do not know of Shaykh al-Islam permitting that. It is not permissible to seek help from those who are absent or from the dead. One only seeks help from the living, present person who is capable of helping. There are three conditions: that he be living, not dead; that is the first condition. The second condition is that he be present, not absent, whether from the jinn or from others. The third condition is that he be capable of helping you. Yes.
