The ruling on seeking the help of jinn in treating infertility
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : So, the issue of having children with something?
The Shaykh : Fine.
The questioner : He had children, so the man treated her by seeking the help of the jinn, and the second woman became pregnant.
The Shaykh : A general rule.
The questioner : Yes. He says: What is the ruling on going to people who seek the help of the jinn in treatment, especially since I have a relative who wants to go to them in order to have children, because she heard about a woman who went and the man treated her by seeking the help of the jinn, and she became pregnant?
The Shaykh : I hold that this is forbidden and not permissible, because there is a strong possibility that the jinn performed forbidden acts to make this woman pregnant. It is possible that they bring a man's semen and put it in her vagina, and she becomes pregnant as a result. Therefore, this path is not permissible. We must also know that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, mentioned that people are divided into categories. He said:[Ash-Shuraa 42:49] This is one category. [Ash-Shuraa 42:49] This is another category. [Ash-Shuraa 42:50] This is the third category. [Ash-Shuraa 42:50] This is the fourth category. That means, some people are given females by Allah and no males, some are given males by Allah and no females, and some are given both males and females by Allah. He means He classifies them into types: males and females. "Marries" here means to classify, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [As-Saffat 37:22] meaning their types. And He said: [Sad 38:58] meaning types. As for the third and fourth, He makes whom He wills barren. This is the wisdom of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes. What? Yes, He is capable of the woman's group. Yes, we do not know if his semen is accepted by her or not, which is why we have turned the page on this matter.

He gives to whom He wills female [children]
يَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًاand He gives to whom He wills males.
وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ الذُّكُورَOr He makes them [both] males and females
أَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَإِنَاثًاand He renders whom He wills barren
وَيَجْعَلُ مَن يَشَاءُ عَقِيمًاGather those who committed wrong, their kinds
احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْAnd other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds.
وَآخَرُ مِن شَكْلِهِ أَزْوَاجٌ
