Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Since the jinn include believers and disbelievers, as well as the pious and the wicked, are the jinn who heard the Qur'an directly from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and went to warn their people considered among the Companions, or is companionship exclusive to humans?
Answer:
A Companion is one who met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while believing in him and died upon that, whether from the jinn or the humans. Yes.
