The ruling on whether Iblis is from the jinn or from the angels

Question:
Is Iblis from the jinn or from the angels? And did the jinn come into existence after Iblis was expelled from Paradise, or after that?

Answer:
Allah knows best about that. Allah informed us that He created the jinn and He created humankind, , , meaning from the smokeless fire, and among them is Iblis, may the curse of Allah be upon him. Iblis is from the jinn, , so Iblis is from the jinn. It is said that he is the father of the jinn; it is said that he is the father of the jinn, so Allah knows best. As for him being from the angels, this has not been established. It has not been established that he is from the angels, but he was with the angels before the curse, when Allah commanded the angels to prostrate to Adam, he was with them. The scholars said that he was worshipping with them. So when he was commanded to prostrate, his evil nature overcame him, and he refused to prostrate. So Allah decreed upon him the curse, expulsion, and distance. He is from the jinn, as Allah said, he was from the jinn. As for whether he is their father or one of them, Allah knows best about that. And it is said that he sees you, meaning Satan sees you, he and his tribe. His tribe means his group, his like, in a place where you do not see him. So what is established is that Satan is from the jinn, from the world of the jinn whom we do not see. As for whether he is their father, this matter requires evidence. As for whether he is from the angels, no, he is not from the angels; rather, he is from the world of the jinn. For this reason, when one of the Tabi'un (the generation after the Companions) was asked...
He said: Allah mentioned that... . He said: Iblis has offspring, so who is his wife? He said: "Dhat 'Ars." We were not present for that. This scholar said: "This 'Ars, we were not present for it," meaning we do not intervene in anything, we do not know about it.
