Using the hadith: “Whoever is able to benefit his brother” as evidence for seeking the help of the jinn

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Those who advocate seeking the help of the jinn in recitation cite the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) , and they say that the Muslims among the jinn are our brothers, and that they are able to help us with something they are capable of. What do we say to them, and how do we respond to this evidence of theirs?

Answer:
The basis for the statement “whoever is able to benefit his brother” refers to the living people who are present, the living people who are present. As for the dead, or the one who is absent, he is not able to do so. What harms you is that it is Shaytan, or that it is a disbeliever. What indicates this? It may be one who intends to release you, and one who intends to mislead you and lure you in these matters. One must be cautious of this matter.
As for the hadith, it is specific to the living person who is present, but he is able to help the living people who are present. As for the jinni, or the one who is absent, it is not permissible to seek help from him. He is not one of his brothers, meaning the jinni, or Shaytan, is not. The hadith indicates this. From among the believers. You know this person is a Muslim. That he prays with the Muslims. And that he is a person of sound creed. As for the jinn, you do not know him.
