The Shaykh : We said it is possible that they are the same, because the hadiths, because the texts are general. And it is possible that they differ, and that the jinn are obligated with what befits them, just as humans are also obligated with what befits them. So the one who owns wealth has zakah upon him, and the poor person has no zakah upon him. And the one who is able to stand in prayer prays standing, and the one who is unable prays sitting. So if the obligation for humans differs according to their condition, then so it is for the jinn. These jinn have specific acts of worship. For this reason, they find bones that have no meat and find them to be the most abundant meat.
