Question:
It is the possibility of a human marrying a female jinn, or the reverse; is this permissible in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
Try it. Marry a jinn and marry from among them. We neither deny it nor affirm it; we do not know, but you try it.
The presenter:
He says that some scholars say that naming the Angel of Death Azrael is not established. Is this correct? Yes, no, yes, this is not established, but it has become common on people's tongues. It is enough that he is the Angel of Death. Do you want him to take your soul? Is his name Azrael, or is his name not Azrael? Yes, and what do you want with his name? Yes, tell him to be patient until he comes and you see.
