Do jinn eat bones, and is it necessary to dispose of them immediately after eating based on hadiths about jinn eating them?
Bones are the food of the Jinn, and they asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for provision. So he guided them to the fact that for them is every bone over which the name of Allah has been mentioned, which will come into their hands with the most meat on it, and every piece of dung is fodder for their animals. For this reason, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade using them for istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), because they are the food of our brothers among the Jinn. It is not necessary to dispose of them immediately after eating.
