Is it possible for a jinn to have sexual intercourse with a human woman if it takes the form of a human, like its appearance in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah when it was guarding the house?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Lord, the Lord of the worlds, said:
untouched before them by man or jinni - لم يطمثهنّ إنس قبلهم و لا جانّ
[Ar-Rahman 55:56]
.

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : Our Lord, the Lord of the worlds, said about the houri:
untouched before them by man or jinni - لم يطمثهن إنس قبلهم و لا جان
[Ar-Rahman 55:56]
. They use this verse as evidence for the permissibility of sexual intercourse between humans and jinn.

The Shaykh : Are the houri from among the humans?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Are the houri from among the humans?

The questioner : The point is, they are not from among the humans.

The Shaykh : So where is the basis for their argument?

The questioner : This is also part of the unseen, meaning one should remain silent about it.
Abu Layla : Shaykh, let us return to the previous hadith...

Another questioner : They use this verse as evidence that humans have intercourse with the houri, and that whatever a human has intercourse with, the jinn also have intercourse with, and they use this verse as evidence?

The Shaykh : Where ... .

Another questioner : They use this verse as evidence.

The Shaykh : You say that they are not had intercourse with by humans. Where did this generality come from?

Another questioner : I am reporting what they say.

The Shaykh : And what is the benefit of this report?

Another questioner : The basis of their argument.

The Shaykh : That is it.

Another questioner : You asked him what the basis of the argument is, and he did not tell you.

The Shaykh : And did you mention the basis of the argument?

Another questioner : Yes, they say...

The Shaykh : This is not an explanation. You say what they say.

Another questioner : The basis of their argument that they claim.

The Shaykh : It was refuted in the same way it was refuted for you. Where did they bring the generality they use as evidence from?

Another questioner : Their understanding of the verse.

The Shaykh : But where did they bring it from? Yes, they understand it, but where did they bring it from? This is a specific, intrinsic issue that implies that the houri can be had intercourse with by jinn just as by humans.

Another questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : So I invalidated the argument. I asked him, are the houri humans?

Another questioner : No, they are not humans.

The Shaykh : Well, the same argument applies here. So there is no benefit in this statement, because it is of the same category.

Another questioner : When a jinn takes the form of a human, as in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, is it not possible for it to have intercourse with a human woman in this state?

The Shaykh : It is not possible.

Another questioner : It is not possible.

The Shaykh : It will not remain in that form. It will change.

Another questioner : At that time, it will be a human.

The Shaykh : I understand. At that time, it does not need to produce offspring and children... Ibn Arabi and the like, this is all an expansion into the unseen matters, which is not permissible. Expanding into the unseen matters is not appropriate. I mean, when you say from the perspective of possibility, the door of possibility is very wide.
