Why did Allah send Muhammad (peace be upon him) to both humankind and jinn, and how do the jinn follow his example when he is from among humans?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is confirmed that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was sent to the Jinn, and they are obligated to follow him and emulate him in prayer, Hajj, and other matters, due to the generality of his saying, peace and blessings be upon him: "Pray as you have seen me praying," and his saying: "Learn your rituals from me." As for how they implement this, we do not know, but they are enjoined with what they are capable of, and they are able to transform.
