Are there male and female angels, and were they created from light?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it true that the angels are neither male nor female, that they are created from light, and that they do not eat?

Answer:
We do not speak about the angels except according to the evidence, because they are from the unseen realm. It is established that they are created from light, that they are honored servants, and that they act upon the commands of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for the question of whether they are male or female? Allah has negated that they are female; He has negated that. So how can we say that there are females among them? Yes.
