The answer

Sexual intercourse can occur between humans and jinn. There is no sin upon one who is forced into intercourse. The sensation of intercourse with a jinn occurs in three situations:

1. During sleep: (ritual bath) is not obligatory unless semen is seen. It could be merely a dream. 2. A jinn appearing in human form while awake: Ghusl is obligatory due to the occurrence of intercourse. 3. Feeling intercourse while awake without seeing the one performing it: If semen is seen: Ghusl is obligatory. If semen is not seen: Scholars have differed. The majority of them (Hanbalis, Shafi'is, and Malikis) hold that Ghusl is obligatory, citing the verse: {Whom no man or jinn has touched before them} [Ar-Rahman: 56]. The Hanafis, however, are of the view that Ghusl is not obligatory unless the jinn appears in human form or semen is discharged.
