The Fate of the Believing Jinn on the Day of Resurrection

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. One of the listeners asks: What is the fate of the believing jinn on the Day of Resurrection? Do they enter Paradise with the people?

Answer:
Their state is like the state of the people. The disbelievers among the jinn and humans are in the Fire, and the believers among the jinn and humans are in Paradise. The jinn are obligated to follow the law, just as people are. Allah the Exalted said:
So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? -فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
[Ar-Rahman 55:71]
This is an address to both the jinn and humans. Also, in Surat al-Jinn, it is mentioned that the jinn listened to the Qur'an, some of them believed in it, and others disbelieved. Allah the Exalted said:
(14) And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allah], and among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course. (15) But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا
[Al-Jinn 72:14-15]
Yes.
