Is it possible for Jinns and humans to be intimate together? – Answered by Shaykh Uthaymeen

Question: O noble Shaykh in Soorah Ar Rahman Allah says:

لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنْسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلَا جَانٌّ
Untouched before them by man or jinn. (Soorah Ar Rahman 55:56)

Are Jinn able to be intimate with the women of this world?

Shaykh Uthaymeen: In Soorah Ar Rahman—as the questioner mentioned: (Allah said)

لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنْسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلَا جَانٌّ
Untouched before them by man or jinn. (Soorah Ar Rahman 55:56)

This verse proves Jinn will enter paradise if they were believers; and this is the correct viewpoint. As for the disbelievers from the Jinn entering the fire, then this is agreed upon by the consensus. This is based upon the statement of Allah the Exalted:

قَالَ ادْخُلُوا فِي أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ فِي النَّارِ

(Allah) will say: “Enter you in the company of nations who passed away before you, of men and jinns, into the Fire.” (Soorah Al ‘Araf 7:38)

He asks is it possible for a Jinn to be intimate with a female from the humans, thus having sexual intercourse with her? Or is it possible for a male from the humans to have sexual intercourse with female Jinn?

The scholars say this is possible. It is possible for male Jinn to have sexual intercourse with a female from the humans and she will be aware of it. And likewise it is possible for a male from the humans to have sexual intercourse with a female Jinn and he will perceive this.
