Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There are Muslim jinn. Is it permissible for us to deal with them in matters of good, such as having them help us stand for prayer? And is there a jihad that is obligatory upon the jinn?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn, the absent, or the dead.

The questioner:
It is not permissible, I mean.

The Shaykh:
Yes. What indicates that they are Muslims? They may say that they are Muslims, but they are Shayatin (devils). It is not permissible to seek their help.

The questioner:
And the jinn. They claim to be Muslims, and that they used to claim

The Shaykh:
Men from among the jinn seek protection from men among the jinn, lest they increase their arrogance. And on the Day when He will gather them all, He will say, “O assembly of jinn, you have taken too many of the people as your allies.” The allies from among the people will say, “Our Lord, we took advantage of one another, and we have reached the term You appointed for us.” He will say, “The Fire is your dwelling place, and you will remain in it forever.”
except for what Allah wills. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing." (129) And thus will We make some of the wrongdoers allies of others for what they used to earn.إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُوَلِّي بَعْضَ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضًا بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
[Al-An'am 6:128-129]
Therefore, it is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn in any way. Yes. To block this door.
