Dealing with a close relative who deals with jinn

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My aunt deals with jinn. The questioner says that his aunt deals with jinn, so he boycotted her. His mother said to him, “Do not boycott her, lest she harm you with the one she is with.” He asks: What should I do?

Answer:
I seek refuge in Allah.
And [yet], they threaten you with those [they worship] other than Himوَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ بِالَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ
[Az-Zumar 39:36]
This is not permissible. Advise your mother against this statement. It does not mean that you should not be close to her as long as she deals with jinn until she repents to Allah the Exalted.
