The Ruling on Seeking the Help of the Jinn in Doing Good

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on seeking the help of the jinn in doing good, as is narrated regarding Abu Musa al-Ash'ari during the time of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab?

Answer:
It is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn, the absent, or the dead. This is not permissible. This opens the door to shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is not permissible.
