What is the ruling on going to sorcerers and believing them, and is everything they say true? Does a person have a "tabi'ah" (a female jinn who follows a person) or a "qareen" (a jinn companion)? Do jinn live among us and hinder our sustenance and marriage?
Going to sorcerers and asking them is forbidden (), and believing them is disbelief (kufr), because they claim knowledge of the unseen, which only Allah knows. What they sometimes get right is from what the devils impart. As for "Al-Tabi'ah" (a female demon or evil spirit), it has no existence. However, every human being has a "Qareen" (a jinn companion) who whispers to him during heedlessness, but it withdraws (khannasa) with remembrance [of Allah]. Jinn may harm a person by Allah's permission, but they do not harm those who fortify themselves with the Quran and remembrance [of Allah]. It is necessary to advise those who go to them due to the seriousness of this for one's religion and morals.
