Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: There are two girls, who are students in one of the secondary schools, who came to ask their religion teacher that they see jinn, and that each of them has a servant, and one of them, if she wants to sleep, [the servant] comes and orders her to pray,
The Shaykh : Who is it that passes by?
The questioner : This servant. A servant.
The Shaykh : A jinni.
The questioner : Yes, indeed. So she is afraid and gets up to pray, and the other orders her servant to do simple things, such as if she is troubled by something, she asks him to place these jinn for them, and they see them without the people of the house, and they come to them at the school, and they are afraid of them because of their ugly appearance, and they are asking how they should act? And is their action permissible? Knowing that there is no cause from them that necessitated their existence, or her existence?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is known to us all that a condition for accepting a report is knowing the state of the reporter, and the report of an unknown person is rejected, and we do not know these two students, nor do we know the school, so the report is rejected; this is the default. And if this report is rejected, then what follows from it cannot be [accepted]. Yes.
The questioner : If it is true, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : We do not assume the possibilities.
The Shaykh : Who is it that passes by?
The questioner : This servant. A servant.
The Shaykh : A jinni.
The questioner : Yes, indeed. So she is afraid and gets up to pray, and the other orders her servant to do simple things, such as if she is troubled by something, she asks him to place these jinn for them, and they see them without the people of the house, and they come to them at the school, and they are afraid of them because of their ugly appearance, and they are asking how they should act?
