The Ruling on Seeking the Aid of the Jinn and Taking Pleasure in Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling and the status of one who seeks the aid of some of the jinn for the purpose of taking pleasure with them, as in what is called al-ziran, and for their assistance in times of need, knowing that this is widespread among many young people in this time?
Answer:
He must have tawhid (the oneness of Allah) directed to Allah and be cautious. He does not ask them nor seek their aid; rather, he should be wary of them to the utmost, except in calling them to Islam, warning them from oppression, calling them to Islam, and warning them from oppressing the servants of Allah. As for seeking their aid, no.
