Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Does the one who seeks the help of Muslim jinn fall under the category of the friends of Satan, or under the category of the awliya (close friends of Allah) of the Most Merciful?
Answer:
Seeking the help of the jinn has not been prescribed for us. We only seek the help of the living who are present, the living who are present whom we see and who are able to help us. This is the one we seek help from. As for seeking the help of the jinn, the absent, and the dead, this is not permissible. And what makes you know that these are Muslims? It is possible that a Satan is a Muslim, or that a Satan claims Islam in order to mislead you. Leave this door open; do not seek the help of the jinn, ever. Yes.
