The ruling on the marriage of a jinni to a human woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a friend who claims that he has married a Muslim jinni woman with a mahr (bridal gift) that he gave to her wali (guardian), and that he has had children from her. He claims to be Ibrahim. The question is: Can a Muslim man marry a Muslim jinni woman? What is the ruling on this belief? And is it permissible to keep the company of this person?

Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement (khilaf) among the scholars, and we do not know about it; Allah knows best. The jinn are from the unseen world, the unseen world that we do not see but which exists. They may interact with humans, but we do not assert this marriage. This is a matter of consideration and disagreement among the scholars. And praise be to Allah, there are many human women; a man marries from the children of Adam, and they are many, praise be to Allah.
