Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surat al-Rahman to the delegation of the believing jinn. So what is our obligation toward our brothers from the believing jinn? Because some people say during the lessons in the study circles, “Make room for your brothers from the jinn.”
Answer:
The jinn are accountable and addressed to follow the messengers, and especially the Seal of the Messengers, our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They are a people we do not see, from the unseen world whom we do not see. So we believe in their existence, and we believe that among them are believers, among them are disbelievers, among them are open sinners, and among them are the righteous. As for us making room for them, they do not need us to make room for them, and we have not been commanded to make room for them. So if they come, they will find places suitable for them. And saying that they make room for them is an addition, and speaking without knowledge.
