Question:
Sometimes a person is alone in the desert and hears voices, thinking they are from the jinn. Is it permissible for him to ask for help from the one whose voice he heard among the jinn, and to call out to him for aid if he is in need of it?
Answer:
No. The unseen is not to be asked for anything. Sometimes one sees lights in front of him, or sees fire flickering in front of him, but when he goes to it, he finds nothing. These are jinn. So he should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan and avoid them, and not seek their help. Yes.
