Question:
Is it permissible for a person to go to a practitioner who seeks the aid of the Muslim jinn during his ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)?
Answer:
This is shirk (associating partners with Allah). Seeking the aid of the jinn is shirk, and seeking the aid of the absent and the dead is shirk. Seeking aid is only from the living, present one who is capable of helping you in what he is able to do. He must be alive, present, and capable of helping you. Yes, with these conditions. Yes.
