The answer

Some scholars use the : "Narrate from the Children of Israel, and there is no harm, for there were wonders among them" as evidence for the permissibility of listening to marvels and strange tales for the purpose of entertainment and drawing lessons, even if they are things whose existence in reality cannot be conceived, such as telling parables to teach virtues. This includes stories of the jinn due to the wonders they contain, as Khurafa was a man whom the jinn captured, and he then narrated his wonders with them. Nevertheless, it is better for a Muslim to use his time for what benefits him, avoid lying, and seek truthfulness.
