What is the ruling on using a Mushaf (copy of the Quran) upon which a key is placed, and it moves on its own to answer questions with "yes" or "no" through what is called "the servant of the Quran"?
It appears that this act is a form of superstition, sorcery, and seeking help from jinn. Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned that among the ways humans benefit from jinn is through the jinn serving them. Therefore, it is possible that the alleged servant is a jinn used by the woman for sorcery. The Quran was not revealed to learn about people's news, but rather for people to ponder upon it, to be warned and given glad tidings, to judge by it, and to emerge from the darkness of misguidance into the light of guidance. Therefore, you should benefit from the Quran by reciting it, pondering its meanings, and applying it, seeking help from Allah, and staying away from sorcerers.
