The ruling on one who denies the entry of jinn into a human being
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who denies that jinn enter into a person?
Answer:
It is an error; this is considered misguidance and an error, because it points to something that actually happens. However, he is not declared a disbeliever, because this matter is hidden, and only those whom Allah has granted knowledge know it. Most people are ignorant of it, and perhaps he denies it because he is ignorant of it. So he said it is misguidance and an error, but he is not declared a disbeliever. Rather, the one who denies the existence of jinn altogether, and says there are no jinn, is the one who is a disbeliever, because he is denying the Book and the Qur'an, denying Allah and His Messenger, and denying all Muslims regarding the existence of jinn, that they are a world living with us on this earth but we do not see them, and that they are obligated to worship and prohibited from sins. Allah the Exalted said:[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56] O you who believe [Al-An'am 6:130].
So the one who denies the existence of jinn is a disbeliever, but the one who denies their entering into a person is in error, but it does not reach the level of disbelief, given the obscurity of this matter for some people and their astonishment at it.

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِcompany of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?
الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَٰذَاSo the one who denies the existence of jinn is a disbeliever, but the one who denies their entering into a person is in error, but it does not reach the level of disbelief, given the obscurity of this matter for some people and their astonishment at it.
