Does a believing jinn enter Paradise and a disbelieving jinn enter the Fire?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And something? What?

The Shaykh : Yes. Yes. The answer is that the text is silent regarding their punishment in the Hereafter, but there are other proofs indicating their reward in the Hereafter. Silence on a matter does not contradict it; it is not explicit. If it had said they do not enter Paradise, we would say that is explicit. But it mentions that they seek guidance and wish to follow the right path, and it is silent regarding their reward in the Hereafter. What? This must be discussed because on what basis do they enter Paradise? Yes. There is no harm, there is no harm; researching this is fine, even though we are not obligated to research it. But suppose they came to be judged before you, what would you do? Yes. They brought one of them and said, "Look, he does not pray," what would you say? Yes. How? Yes. Yes. Allah the Exalted, the Just Judge, punishes every person with what he deserves.
