The question

What do you say about a woman who claims that fourteen of God's righteous saints are with her and that she cures the sick in exchange for money, while she does not memorize the Quran, considers herself chosen for her patience, and claims that these saints work on her behalf?

The answer

Treatment is not permissible with the aforementioned woman who seeks assistance from Jinn, because seeking assistance from Jinn can lead to many corruptions. It is difficult to judge Jinn as Muslim or disbeliever or righteous due to the lack of criteria to identify the truthful among them. A person might fall into sorcery and magic under the pretext of seeking the Jinn’s help for good. It is advised to put one's trust in Allah, seek refuge in Him, consistently perform Ash-Shariah (Islamic exorcism), avoid going to this woman, and not bathe with unknown water she may have given, and maintain the prescribed remembrance (Adhkar) such as morning and evening remembrances, Ayat Al-Kursi, Al-, Al-Mu'awwidhatayn (Al-Falaq and An-Nas), and the last verses of Al-Baqarah, along with acts of obedience and avoidance of prohibitions.
