Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Is the seduction of the human by the jinn from all jinn, or from a specific type or kind?
The Shaykh : It is well known that among the jinn there are the righteous and there are those who are less than that, and among them there are Muslims and there are disbelievers. The one who misguides is the disbeliever, whereas the believing jinni does not misguide.
The student: But Shaykh, may Allah reward you, do all the disbelieving jinn have this ability, or has Allah the Exalted and Majestic enabled them to do so?
The Shaykh : No, it is not the case in every instance. However, the origin of human disbelief is from Shaytan and the self, and Shaytan is from the jinn, there is no doubt in that.[Al-Kahf 18:50] Yes.
