What is the evidence for the jinn’s destination to the Fire and Paradise?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. We have previously mentioned that the jinn and mankind will end up either in Paradise or in the Fire. So what is the evidence for the jinn’s destination to the Fire?

The Shaykh : Yes. The saying of Allah the Exalted:
[Allah] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire."قَالَ ادْخُلُوا فِي أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ فِي النَّارِ
[Al-A'raf 7:38]
. The saying of Allah the Exalted:
But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا
[Al-Jinn 72:15]
This is the statement of the jinn. The verse. Yes, now, the evidence that the believing jinn enter Paradise

The questioner : There are two gardens, so by what harm will you be deterred from them?

The Shaykh : He addresses the jinn and mankind with this. Well done. And since the time has ended. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says this, because it is our duty to make du'a for him.
