Question:
Many people associate the most powerful of the jinn with graveyards. What is your comment on this?
Answer:
Allah knows best. What kind of life do they lead on this earth alongside the children of Adam? As for them being restricted to a specific place, Allah knows best; this requires evidence. Yes, people believe that they are more prevalent in abandoned places, such as desolate areas and empty spaces. Allah knows best; this requires evidence to prove it. As for experiences and incidents, yes, it is found that they exist in desolate areas and abandoned places, but this does not indicate that these places are exclusive to them. However, they may prefer them because they are free of people. Otherwise, they live with the children of Adam on this earth, but we do not see them. They see us, and we do not see them. Therefore, they are called jinn, because the jinn, before the gathering, is concealment. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said that He sees them, him and his tribe, and "his tribe" refers to the jinn. He sees them, meaning Satan and his tribe, meaning the jinn, from where you do not see him. So they see us, and we do not see them. As for the places of their coexistence and presence, according to the scholars, they are with us on this earth. As for the places that are exclusive to them, we do not know, except that in some experiences and observations, they enter abandoned places. Also, it is established in the evidence from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that they are found in filthy places, meaning the disbelievers among them and the devils are found in the places of the eclipse and filthy places, and such as relieving oneself.
Therefore, it is prescribed that when a person wants to enter the place of relief, he says before entering: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the male and female jinn." "Al-Khabith" is the plural of "khabith" (evil), and it refers to the male jinn, and "al-Khaba'ith" is the plural of "khabithah" (evil), and it refers to the female jinn. So he seeks refuge from the males and females of them, because they are found in these places.
If he does not pray and does not recite this supplication, it is likely that they will dominate him, and it is likely that they will harm him or afflict him. If he supplicates with this supplication, Allah will protect him from them, and they will not be able to harm him. And Allah knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
