Is it permissible to employ a Muslim jinn to treat some Muslims from sorcerers and magic?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But what follows from this question?

The questioner : It follows: Is it possible to employ this Muslim jinn to treat some Muslims from sorcerers and magic?

The Shaykh : This is a second question, and the answer is that it is not permissible.

The questioner : Is there evidence?

The Shaykh : The evidence is
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 رَهَقًا
[Al-Jinn 72:6]
, so it is not permissible to cooperate with them in any way; rather, one should recite some verses over the possessed person, perhaps that jinn possessing him will come out of him, and nothing more than this.

The questioner : And even if he is Muslim, it is not permissible for him to remain.

The Shaykh : What makes you think he is Muslim?

The questioner : He tells them that he is a Muslim jinn.

The Shaykh : If someone here on the street says to you, "I am Muslim," does that make him Muslim?

The questioner: No.

The Shaykh : Okay, how do you know? Do you see it, or is it just that he says he is Muslim, Allahu Akbar?

The questioner : May Allah reward you.
