It is not far-fetched that a jinn can carry physical objects without taking form, as their not taking form does not negate their ability to do so. Jinn are composed bodies and represented individuals; among them are those who travel, move, eat, drink, and procreate. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned that jinn are of three types: a type that flies in the air, a type that consists of snakes and scorpions, and a type that settles and travels.
