The ruling on one who denies the entry of jinn into a human being

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on one who denies the entry of jinn into a human being, and this matter has become apparent among the people?

Answer:
His ruling is that he is misguided; he is not declared a disbeliever. He is ruled to be misguided and in error. However, if he denies the existence of the jinn, as happens among philosophers and the ignorant people, denying the existence of the jinn is disbelief (kufr). This is because it is a denial of Allah, His Messenger, and the consensus of the Muslims. The jinn are a world, a known world, but they are hidden from us. Not everything that is hidden from us is non-existent. Many things exist that we do not see. For example, the soul, the soul that is in you, by which you walk, eat, and drink, can you see it? You do not see it, yet it exists in you. Not everything that you do not see is non-existent. Yes, so what about the jinn? They are a state like that of humans. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) addressed them, commanded them, prohibited things for them, threatened them, and promised them. So, the one who denies the existence of the jinn is a disbeliever. As for the one who affirms the existence of the jinn but denies their association with humans, he is a wrongdoer.
