Do the jinn die?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Do the Shayatins and the jinn die? And if they do die, how do we understand the saying of Allah the Exalted: ?
The Shaykh : The jinn and humans die, as stated in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the saying of Iblis:[Al-Hijr 15:36-38], did Allah the Exalted grant him his request? Or did He say, "Until the Day of the Known Time" with Allah Mighty and Majestic? The answer is the second: Iblis has been granted a respite until the known time that Allah Mighty and Majestic knows.
In any case, the jinn and humans die without a doubt. As for those created to remain, such as the houris and young boys in Paradise, they do not die because Allah the Exalted created them originally to remain.
So grant me respite until the Day they are resurrected
فأنظرني إلى يوم يبعثونThe Shaykh : The jinn and humans die, as stated in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the saying of Iblis:
then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected." (37) [Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved (38) Until the Day of the time well-known."
فَأَنْظِرْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَرِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِIn any case, the jinn and humans die without a doubt.
