Question:
The story of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari: when they lost 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, they went to a man who had seen some of the jinn. They asked him, and he informed them, and they found him by his information. Did some of our shaykhs use this as evidence for the permissibility of using jinn in noble matters?
Answer:
I say: I do not know of any basis for this.
