The Ruling on Seeking the Help of Jinn in Treating People

Question:
The Shaykh said: A person treats people with du'a' (supplication) and claims that he has with him righteous jinn who converse and turn things around. What is the ruling on that, and what is the ruling on relying on that?

Answer:
This is a liar. It is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn or the absent ones. And whoever says that it is permissible to seek the help of the jinn and the Muslims—where is the evidence with him? Does he have evidence? Is there any evidence for us from the Book of Allah or from the Sunnah of His Messenger? As for saying, "So-and-so said it," or "So-and-so said it," the sayings of people require evidence, even if they are from the great imams. Their sayings are used as evidence, not as evidence itself. And if anyone from some of your scholars said it, everyone would prostrate. Seeking the help of the jinn, the absent ones, and the dead are all of the same category and are futile. Yes.
