The Ruling on Dealing with a Muslim Jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on going to someone who has a jinn to treat people through another Muslim jinn, and through the shaykh?
He understands the speech of the jinn, takes some money, and they treat this patient?
First: Did this Muslim jinn declare his Islam before the notary public?The questioner: This, O Shaykh, is between them,He says: that he is Muslim, but the shaykh does not know: who says that he is Muslim?The hypocrites say: They are Muslims, and they are the most disbelieving of Allah’s servants? Unless the Muslim comes and comes before the notary public of the humans,And he said: that he is Muslim, and perhaps we will accept it.
The questioner: O Shaykh! This human shaykh knows that he is Muslim, and his companion the shaykh: their commander is under the Ministry of Interior or where? By Allah, the matters of the jinn are truly such that a person stands in them confused, but there is no doubt that if we know that this jinn is Muslim and that he helps his Muslim brother in something that is not forbidden, then this is permissible; because a person seeking the help of a Muslim jinn is like seeking the help of a Muslim human, if he does not seek his help in something forbidden,Meaning: he does not say: come, I hate so-and-so, I will go and burn his clothes or burn his house, if he does not say something like this,Or he says: O so-and-so! I hate so-and-so, I will go and frighten him at night and make him unable to sleep, this, if there is harm to the Muslims, is not permissible.
Likewise, if the jinn cannot serve him unless he draws near to him with what is forbidden, by slaughtering for him or making a vow for him,Or a woman, for example, the jinn says: I will serve you on the condition that you allow me to commit zina with you, or the reverse, the important thing is if it is not through a forbidden way and not for a forbidden thing, then this is permissible, I say this regarding the words of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), he said that in several of his books.
But the problem now is who says: This jinn is Muslim, that is the problem.
The questioner: O Shaykh! Did not the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibit going to the fortune-teller?The Shaykh: Yes.
But the fortune-teller informs about the unseen in the future, and no one knows the future, even the jinn do not know the future, are the jinn not those who remained in the humiliating punishment in the time of Sulayman and they did not know that he was dead? So how do they know the unseen of the future when they did not know the unseen of the present.
