Is it valid to narrate from the jinn, and are they trustworthy?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The narration of humans from jinn is not valid due to their unreliability. The apparent ruling is to prohibit it because their trustworthiness cannot be ascertained. It has been reported in the : "Soon, devils whom Solomon bin David had bound most securely will emerge, and they will say: 'Narrate to us and inform us.'" As for the narration of jinn from humans, there is no doubt about its permissibility.
