Take jinns under one's command

· 17 Rabiʻ II 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it possible that certain people can take jinns under their command, and inquire by means of them information about what certain individual is doing miles away from that person?

Answer

The knowledge of the unseen is exclusive to Allah Ta'ala. As far as sourcing information from close or distant places is concerned, then this can even be sourced and acquired through modern day technology.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
