Addressing the jinn during the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) of the one afflicted with sorcery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: During the ruqyah of the one afflicted with sorcery, the jinn speaks. Is it permissible to address it to find out the location of the sorcery?

Answer:
All of this is superstition and nonsense. Yes, it is possible that if he recites the Qur'an over him, and the one reciting is a person of sound belief or a person of religion, and he recites the Qur'an over him, the jinn may speak and the jinn may be addressed. As for going to a sorcerer, it is possible that he and the sorcerer have an agreement from before, so he lets him address him and he sets conditions. All of this is from a person who is not known for sound belief or for the rectitude of his religion; his religion must be sound and upright, known for sound belief. This is what is appropriate in these matters. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
