Do jinn have offspring, like humans?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The jinn have offspring, and this is indicated by Wahb ibn Munabbih's statement that among them are species that eat, drink, procreate, and multiply. This is also supported by the Almighty's saying: "No man or jinn has touched them before them," and His saying: "Will you then take him and his offspring as protectors instead of Me?" Further supporting this is what the exegetes mentioned, that the mother of Bilqis was a jinn, and Ibn al-Arabi conclusively stated that all jinn eat, drink, marry, and have offspring.
