Is the Dajjal a trial for humans and jinn, or for humans only? And do other trials also affect the jinn?
The jinn are bound by the rulings of just as humans are, as indicated by Allah's statement: "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me" (Quran 51:56). They are also bound by the law brought by the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. They are generally bound by what humans are bound by, but the difference in their creation and nature necessitates some variations in certain obligations. The human race is more complete than the jinn and possesses more perfect intellects; thus, humans are superior to jinn through the messengers, prophets, and the devoutly close (to Allah). As for the Antichrist's (Dajjal's) trial for the jinn, it appears that whatever is a trial for humans is also a trial for jinn. Therefore, it is not unlikely that the Antichrist's trial would have an effect on the world of the jinn, but certainty regarding this depends on a report from the infallible (Prophet), and we have no such report concerning this matter. Thus, it is best to pause and remain silent.
