Ruling on using Jinn for good purposes

6-2-2011 | IslamWeb

Question:

In one of your Fataawa you stated that it is allowed to use a Jinn in teaching and spreading Islam. How can I find a Jinn?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

We do not know how to find a Jinn and we do not recommend anyone to search for one, because this involves great risks, some of which are mentioned our Fataawa.

Co-operating with good humans is sufficient. You are in no need of Jinn, since it is very difficult to distinguish between a good Jinn and an evil one.

Allaah Knows best.
