The ruling on going to those who seek the aid of the jinn

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Khalid says: Shaykh, what is the ruling in the Shari'ah, in your view, on going to some of the ruqah practitioners who say that they seek the aid of the Muslim jinn or the angels? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
These are sorcerers, and it is not permissible to go to them, nor is it permissible to seek the aid of the jinn,
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 رَهَقًا
[Al-Jinn 72:6]
, so nothing is asked of the jinn, and nothing is asked of absent persons, nor of the dead, but rather help is sought from the living person who is present and able to help. Yes.
