Question:
She has another question in which she asks about the jinn: where are they? And are they created now? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The jinn are created by Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has mentioned them in many verses of the Qur'an. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned them in the Prophetic hadiths. So the existence of the jinn is a matter of consensus, established in the Book and the Sunnah, and by consensus. Whoever denies their existence is a disbeliever. As for where they are, they are in the dominion of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). They live with us on this earth, and Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has given them capabilities different from those of humans, such as flying in the air, moving quickly to places, or taking on different forms. They are a realm we do not see.
I mean, mostly. Some people may see them, but mostly they are not seen, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-A'raf 7:27] So they are a realm hidden from us, and they are of the unseen realm which we believe in, even if we do not see it, due to the report of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and the report of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the consensus of the Muslims on that. They are obligated to worship, just like humans, as He the Exalted said: [Adh-Dhariyat 51:56] So they are obligated to worship, obligated to obey Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and prohibited from disobeying Allah. The one among them who disobeys enters the Fire, and the disbeliever among them enters the Fire. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He reward you

Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them
إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْAnd I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
