Believing that the Jinnaat have control and can influence sustenance

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Many of us believe in the black magic/evil practices & Jins’ effects. Is it valid or is it possible by its means; spoiling someone’s Business or Families, subjecting someone to illness etc. Shall one consider some Maulana/Peers who cure the magic on daily routine, or depend on Allah only; as some has told me to consult such Peer because for going for a cure is Sunnat.

Bismillaah

A: To believe the jinnaat have control and that they can influence sustenance and rozi etc. is a false belief. They are a creation among other creations and have needs like how other creations have needs.

It is permissible to consult someone in this regards and simultaneously be convinced that Allah is the curer.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
