Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Isam Ali, an Egyptian, asks in this question: Is Iblis from the jinn, or from the angels?
Answer:
Iblis, as Allah said: [Al-Kahf: 50]. It was said that they are a group... of the jinn, and it was said that they are from the jinn known here, the known ones about whom Allah said: [Adh-Dhariyat: 56]. He is their father, and this is the well-known view, that Shaytan is the father of the jinn, and Adam is the father of mankind. However, he used to worship with the angels, so he was commanded to prostrate with them, but he became arrogant. We ask Allah for safety.
