Is it true what is stated in the book "Invasions of Imam Ali" that Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) fought the jinn until he reached the seventh earth with them? And what is your opinion on this book?

All of this has no basis. He did not fight jinn, nor did any such thing occur. Rather, this is false, a lie, and among the fabrications invented by people. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah indeed stated this, saying, "It is a lie with no basis, and it is among the falsehoods fabricated by liars."
