The answer

Denying the existence of jinn is disbelief (kufr) and an exit from Islam, because it is a denial of what has been narrated frequently in the Qur’an and Sunnah regarding their existence. Belief in their existence is part of belief in the unseen, for we do not see them, and we rely on truthful reports to affirm their existence. If someone persists in denying the existence of jinn after it has been clarified to them, then they are a disbeliever (kafir) apostate from the religion of Islam, and prayer behind them is not valid.
