Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My uncle brings fortune-tellers to his house, believes them, and claims that he speaks to the jinn, and that the jinn said to him such and such. His question is
The Shaykh:
that the jinn said.
The questioner:
that they said to him such and such matters. He says.
The Shaykh:
This is seeking the aid of the jinn, and may Allah protect us from that. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah), so it is not permissible.[Al-Jinn 72:6] This is not permissible.
The questioner:
And his question is about gatherings.
The Shaykh:
Even if the one seeking aid is absent? Yes.
The questioner:
And his question, may Allah preserve you, is about this uncle who seeks the aid of the jinn. He says: Is it obligatory for me to cut off ties with him?
The Shaykh:
First, advise him. If he abandons this, praise be to Allah. Otherwise, if he persists in this, cut off ties with him and stay away from him, because you have fulfilled the obligation toward him. Yes.

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًاThe questioner:
