The one who offers sacrifices to the jinn is not a Muslim
Question: 11226
If a person dies who offers sacrifices to the jinn, and he persisted in doing so, can the funeral prayer be prayed over him or du’aa’ be made for him?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It is not permissible to offer the funeral prayer over
him, or to wash him, or to shroud him. He cannot be considered to be
one of the Muslims and he should not be buried with them, because he
is a mushrik. The same applies to one who prays to the jinn or to the
awliya’ (“saints”) or to the occupants of graves, or offers sacrifices
to them. We seek refuge with Allaah.
