What is the ruling on a woman who claims she was born from a jinni? Is this possible? And he was asked about the words of Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding this.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He was asked about a woman who claims she is pregnant from the jinn. Imam Malik said something meaning that intercourse is possible, but he said, "Every time a woman who has committed fornication comes to us and claims that a jinni had intercourse with her, we believe her." This is possible and is useful in the research itself.

The Shaykh : Critique Malik's words; what is taken from them?

The questioner : What is taken from them is that not every claim a person makes about having intercourse with the jinn, and that there is mating, etc., is to be believed.

The Shaykh : Yes, and...

The questioner : Despite the possibility of it occurring.

The Shaykh : Okay...

Another questioner : Where did you get the possibility from?

The Shaykh : This is what I want to reach. He said, from his side, meaning he draws attention to the fact that it is reported from Malik, and Allah knows best the truth of the report. Then, if it is established from Malik, we say, what is the evidence for that? Since the Book and the Sunnah do not speak about this unseen matter...

Another questioner : Our Shaykh, Al-Suyuti, in *Al-Ashbah wa al-Naza'ir*.

The Shaykh : In?

Another questioner : *Al-Ashbah wa al-Naza'ir*.

The Shaykh : *Al-Ashbah wa al-Naza'ir*.

Another questioner : In the book of jurisprudence, he says in the chapter of marriage: The chapter on the marriage of a human to a jinni. He says, "The apparent view of our school is that it is forbidden, indeed, its occurrence is impossible, due to the saying of the Exalted:
And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates و من آياته أن خلق لك من أنفسكم أزواجا
[Ar-Rum 30:21]
He said, the word 'from yourselves' indicates by its explicit meaning the prohibition and impossibility of this marriage occurring. I do not know if he means...

The Shaykh : The apparent view is beautiful and sound, because the jinn are not of our nature and not from ourselves...
Abu Layla : Our Shaykh, let us return to the topic of the hadith... because the topic of the jinn, what Allah willed, took up time.

The Shaykh : There is no god but Allah.
