The Ruling on Seeking the Help of Muslim Jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on seeking the help of the Muslim jinn?
Answer:
Do not seek the help of the absent ones, whether jinn or the dead. Do not seek the help of the absent ones; seek the help of the living person who is present and available, the living person who is present and capable of helping you. As for seeking the help of an absent jinn or other, or the dead, or seeking the help of a present person with something he is not capable of doing except Allah, all of this is not permissible. Seek the help of the present person with what he is capable of doing: he builds a wall with you, he carries your car with you, he carries your luggage with you. There is no harm in that; this is cooperation. There is boycott [in the original text, likely a transcription error for "cooperation" or similar context, but translated as is per rules]. And Allah is with the servant as long as the servant is with his brother. This is good.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
