Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The Qareen (companion jinn) is a devil that accompanies a human. It can be a source of information about that person, as the Qareen informs the sorcerer's Qareen about what it knows concerning the human it accompanies. Some ignorant people then imagine that the sorcerer knows the unseen, but this is a عمل of the deceitful sorcerers who inform strangers about their names and some of their past affairs through inspiration from the devil.
