Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on seeking the help of the jinn, if they are Muslims, in what they are capable of?
Answer:
It is permissible to seek the help of the absent, but not of the dead, nor of the living who are absent. It is not permissible, whether from jinn or humans. Is there any religion in which one seeks the help of the jinn? There is no evidence for this at all, and it is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah).
