The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Why?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to deal with the jinn in any way. The only permissible case is if there is a person who has been possessed by a jinn; in that case, it is not permissible for a Muslim to do anything other than recite verses or authentic ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so that the jinn leaves that person who is possessed. However, talking to it, questioning it, extracting information from it, or using it to learn about some of the unseen matters concerning a person falls under what He (Blessed and Exalted is He) said in the Qur'an:[Al-Jinn 72:6]. Therefore, it is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn in any way, especially when the question states that the jinn is a disbeliever. Moreover, it is not possible to distinguish between a disbelieving jinn and a Muslim one, because a Muslim today may associate with one or many people of his own kind for many years, believing them to be sincere Muslims, only to later find out that they are not Muslims at all, like some spies, or that they are Muslims but open sinners who are not righteous. How much more so is this the case with the realm of the unseen, which is the jinn, whom the Lord of the Worlds described in the Noble Qur'an by saying: [Al-A'raf 7:27].
In summary: It is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn.

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًاIndeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them
إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْIn summary: It is not permissible to seek the help of the jinn.
