The answer

It is established that Iblis has offspring, based on Allah's statement: {Will you then take him and his offspring as protectors instead of Me, while they are an enemy to you?} [Al-Kahf: 50]. As for how his offspring came into being, whether through marriage or otherwise, there is no explicit text. A Prophetic mentions that Satan "laid eggs and hatched" in the marketplace, but this could be interpreted as a parable rather than a literal truth, given its consistency with the context of Arabic speech. Statements detailing the method of procreation or identifying the names and functions of his children cannot be relied upon due to the absence of evidence from the Quran or to substantiate them, except for what has been authentically reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him, such as the devil "Khanzab" who whispers during prayer.
