Should a student of Islamic knowledge and the Quran abandon his shaykh who deals with jinn to treat those afflicted by possession and magic, especially since his studies are nearing completion? What is the ruling on teaching the Quran to this young man under the supervision of this shaykh, and what is the ruling on the charity he receives from him?

Dealing with Jinn is a grave danger and a path to polytheism (shirk) and corruption. Scholars have absolutely forbidden dealing with them to close the door to temptation (fitna), and seeking their help is considered polytheism and disbelief (kufr).

As for seeking knowledge, the student must choose trustworthy scholars, those of strong faith, integrity, and piety, and should avoid those who deal with Jinn, unless no alternative is found and the matter is simple, while believing that the fundamental principle is to never deal with Jinn.

Regarding charity, it is advisable to dispense with it and strive to earn a living through manual labor. However, if the student is compelled to accept charity from this teacher, there is no sin upon him.
