What is the ruling on seeking help from a sheikh who treats with the Quran, honey, and Zamzam water, and claims to have a Muslim jinn assisting him, in order to treat the discomfort and pain experienced by the husband when attempting to deflower his wife?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Treatment by those who seek the help of jinn is impermissible, as seeking their help leads to many corruptions, and it is difficult to judge them as being Muslim, disbeliever, or righteous. It has not been authentically reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his Companions, or the Tabi'in sought their help. We advise against anything that might be related to sorcery. There is no objection to reciting the Quran over honey and drinking it. What you are experiencing might be magic, and scholars have mentioned a cure for it.
