Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: Do the jinn fall under the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:
Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you allقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا
[Al-A'raf 7:158]
?

Answer:
Yes, as you heard in this [context], in Surat al-Jinn and in the last verse of Surat al-Hijr, the last verse of Surat al-Hijr, that they came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), listened, and embraced Islam, and that they asked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to meet with them and they asked him [to do so], so he met with them in Makkah. So there is no doubt that they are a people who are accountable, accountable for faith and righteous deeds, commanded and prohibited, and the Shari'ah is for everyone, the Shari'ah for humans and jinn, the Islamic Shari'ah for humans and jinn.
