Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is there currently eavesdropping by the jinn?
Answer:
Yes, it may exist, but it is rare after the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is rare now, whereas in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance it was common.[Al-Jinn 72:9] This means that at the time of the Messenger's (peace and blessings be upon him) sending, a shooting star was found to be sent against it. It is rare now; the heavens were guarded by shooting stars. However, a little of this may occur and continue for a wisdom of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), to test the servants, to examine the servants. Yes.

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now
وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ فَمَن يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ
