Asking jinn about the location of magic is a form of seeking their assistance, which is impermissible. Furthermore, they are characterized by lying and deception, and a jinn might place something and delude a person into thinking it is the magic. Reciting the Quran and Prophetic supplications, along with steadfastness and avoiding sins, are sufficient, for the devil's plot is weak, and the sorcerer will not succeed.
