People claiming that they can make lots of money by using the jinn - Belief in the Jinn, witchcraft and the evil eye -

There is a man who claims that he deals withthe jinn, and that he is
prepared to pay huge profits to anyone who deals with him. For
example, if I give him one million, he will use mercury to deal with
thejinn, and then he will give me a profit of approximately five
million riyaals. What is your opinion of this man's claims? Is it true
that the jinn can bring money to a person who – as he claims – uses
them?
Praise be to Allaah.
In my opinion this is not permissible, because dealing with them
usually only comes after getting close to them by means of things that
they like. This is the action of the practitioner of witchcraft who
gets close to the Shaytaan by doing things that he likes, which
cancels out all his good deeds. Whenhe mentioned that he uses mercury,
this is deceit and taking people's money under false pretences, and it
may come under the heading of gambling and stealing. The shayaateen
work by illusions and magic, and it is known that they do not possess
any kind of money or currency or goods. If they give anything of that
sort to aperson, either it is an illusion that is not real, or else it
is something that has been stolen from other people. It is not right
to deal with them at all.
In fact, many of these fraudsters who claim that they can make money
are cheats and liars who deceive the people and destroy theirwealth
and efforts; it is no more than theft. The newspapers are full of
stories like this. We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound.

Belief in the Jinn, witchcraft and the evil eye - Using amulets, and how to deal with nightmares

A friend of mine when he was younger could not sleep as he used to get
nightmares...he was taken by his father to a peer (a holy man) who
made him a necklace with a little box thingy ? which appareblty
contained holy scriptures? is this allowed in islam? & his isnow 24 so
what woudl you recommend for him to do to escape thes nighmares?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is not permissible to go to fortunetellers and soothsayers and
other such charlatans. Whoever goes to them and asks them about
anything, his prayer will not be accepted for fortydays, and whoever
believes their claim to have knowledge of the unseen or to be able to
relieve hardship and bring benefits is a kaafir,as it says in the
saheeh ahaadeeth narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him).
It is not permissible to use turquoise (as a charm) and amulets. A
stern warning is used in the saheeh Sunnah to the one who does that.
It was narrated from 'Uqbah ibn 'Aamir al-Juhani that a group ofpeople
came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him), andhe accepted the allegiance of nine and refrained from
accepting the allegiance of one. They said: "O Messenger of Allaah,
youaccepted the allegiance of nine and not this one." He said: "He is
wearing an amulet." He put his hand in and tookit off, then he
accepted his allegiance, and said: "Whoever uses an amulet has
committed shirk (has associated partners with Allaah)." Narrated by
Ahmad, 16969. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani
in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 492.
In the answer to question no. 10542 you will find the details of the
ahaadeeth which have been narrated concerning amulets, andthe rulings
of the scholars on amulets containing verses from the Qur'aan and
amulets consisting of other things.
In that answer, Shaykh Sulaymaan ibn 'Abd al-Wahhaab is quoted assaying:
"This scholarly difference was concerning hanging up amulets which
contain Qur'aan or names and attributes of Allaah, so what do you
think aboutthe things which were innovated later on, doing spells
(ruqyah) using the names of shayaateen (devils) and others and hanging
them up, and even beingattached to those shayaateen, seeking refuge in
them, slaughtering animals for them, asking them to ward off harm and
bringbenefits – actions which are pure shirk? This is prevalent among
many of the people, except forthose whom Allaah keeps safe and sound."
And Shaykh Haafiz Hukmi said:
If they (amulets) contain anything other than the two revelations and
instead contain mumbo-jumbo from the Jews or worshippers of the
temple, stars or angels, or those who use the services of the jinn,
etc., or they are made of pearls, strings, iron rings, etc., then this
is shirk, i.e., hanging them up or wearing them is shirk, beyond a
doubt.
Secondly:
In the answer to question no. 9577 you will find some means of
protection against nightmares and disturbing dreams.
And Allaah knows best.

Belief in the Jinn, witchcraft and the evil eye - Ruling on sick person visualizing the one who put the evil eye on him

How correct is it for a sick person to visualize the one who put the
eyeon him as a result of Qur'aan being recited over him, or the raaqi
asking his qareen (jinn companion) to show the sick person who put the
eye on him?
Praise be to Allaah.
For the sick person to visualize the one who put the eye on him as a
result of Qur'aan being recited over him, or the qaari' (reciter)
telling him to do so, is a devilishaction and is not permitted,
because it is seeking the help of the shayaateen (devils). The jinn is
the one who makes him visualize the person who afflicted him with the
evil eye, and this is haraam, because it is seeking the help of the
shayaateen, and because it creates enmity among people and causes fear
and terror to be spread among people. It comes under the aayah
(interpretation of the meaning):
"And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the
males among the jinn, but they (jinn) increased them (mankind) in sin
and transgression"
[al-Jinn 72:6]
And Allaah knows best.
[Translator's note: Raaqimeans one who does ruqyah i.e., reciting
Qur'aan and du'aa's overthe sick for the purpose of seeking healing]

Belief in the Jinn, witchcraft and the evil eye - Ruling on learning magic and removing spells from a person affected by magic

Is it permissible to learn how to remove spells from a person affected by magic?
Praise be to Allaah.
If that is by doing something permissible, such as reciting du'aa's
that are prescribed or permitted in Islam, or by using a ruqyah that
is prescribed in Islam, there is nothing wrong with that. But if a
personlearns magic in order to counteract magic, or for any other
purposes, thenthat is not permitted andin fact is something which
nullifies a person's Islam, because it is not possible to learn it
without falling into shirk. That happens by worshipping the shayaateen
(devils), by offering sacrifices to them and making vows to them, and
other kindsof worship, and offeringsacrifices to them and seeking to
draw close to them with things that they love, until they serve a
person and do what he wants. This is the mutual benefit which Allaah
refers to in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
"And on the Day when He will gather them (all) together (and say): 'O
you assembly of jinn! Many did you mislead of men,' and their Awliyaa'
(friends and helpers) amongst men will say: 'Our Lord! We benefited
one from the other, but now we have reached our appointed term which
You did appoint for us.' He will say: 'The Fire be your dwelling
place, you will dwell therein forever, except as Allaah may will.
Certainly your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing.'"
[al-An'aam 6:128]
