The Ruling on Supplicating to the Jinn and Seeking Their Aid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the south, a person says to another, "Take him and do such-and-such to him; put him in Hell," and the pronoun refers to the jinn. What is the ruling on this? And what is the response to those who say that this is a supplication to the present one in what he is capable of, and that the jinn are present with us?
Answer:
And it is likely that they are conversing with him and he sees them. This is false, and this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is a supplication to the absent ones, and a supplication to the jinn, and seeking aid from the jinn. This is shirk, explicit shirk, without a doubt. So he should clarify this to them and warn them against this matter. Yes.
