Is dung and bones food for the Muslim jinn, or for all jinn?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is dung and bones food for our brothers the jinn who are Muslims only, or is it general for all jinn?

Answer:
As for the disbelieving jinn, we have no concern with them, no, no. They feed on impurities, may Allah protect us from that, impurities. But the Muslims do not feel at ease with impurities; they feel at ease with what is foul because they are Muslims. As for the disbelievers among the jinn, they are not bound by the law of Allah the Exalted and Majestic. They eat carrion and they eat impurities. Yes.
