Summary
The Kedah fatwa rules that befriending or cooperating with jinn in matters forbidden by Islamic law is haram. Seeking help from jinn in medical treatment that leads to shirk, seeking wealth, strength or prowess through jinn, and using jinn for sorcery or divination are also haram. Anyone who fails to comply commits the offence of violating a fatwa.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Meminta dan menggunakan khidmat jin untuk ilmu sihir atau nujum adalah haram.
