What is the ruling on the friendship between a Muslim human and a Muslim jinn based on love and obedience to Allah and His Messenger? And is this friendship similar to the close bond between two humans?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Muslim Jinn is a brother to the human believer. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, established the brotherhood between human and Jinn believers by saying: "Do not cleanse yourselves with dung or bones, for they are the provisions of your brothers among the Jinn." This is further supported by the generality of Allah Almighty's saying: "Indeed, the believers are brothers," and His saying: "And the believing men and believing women are allies of one another." However, it must be noted that most of the Jinn are cunning and deceptive, so one should not feel secure from them.
