Leaving bones in Makkah for the jinn to eat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I have heard that the Muslims among the jinn eat bones, so is it required of me to leave the bones in Makkah?
The Shaykh:
They cover the bone; it is covered for them with flesh. Allah covers it for them with flesh. This is what is mentioned in the hadith: Allah covers it with flesh for them, and they eat it. As for the bone, the bone is not eaten, neither by the jinn nor by humans.
The questioner:
He says: So, is it obligatory for me to leave and place the bones in a specific place so that those jinn can eat them?
The Shaykh:
You place the bones in appropriate places; do not place them in garbage dumps or in impure ground; place them in a suitable location.
