The ruling on using Muslim jinn in treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on using Muslim jinn in treatment if it is necessary?
Answer:
One does not urge the jinn to treat, nor does one ask them. Rather, one asks the well-known doctors. As for descending to the jinn, that is not done, because it is a means to worshipping them and believing in them. Among them are disbelievers, among them are Muslims, and among them are innovators, and their conditions are not known. Therefore, it is not befitting to rely on them or to ask them, even if they appear to you in human form. Rather, one asks the people of knowledge from among the humans in medicine. Allah has criticized the polytheists in His saying:[Al-Jinn 72:6]. Also, it is a means to believing in them, and shirk (associating partners with Allah) is a means to seeking benefit from them, knowing through them, and seeking their help, which is shirk, and seeking refuge in them, which is shirk. Yes.

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًاThe presenter:
