Based on scholarly interpretations, marriage between jinn and humans is generally considered impermissible.
While the Quran and Hadith do not explicitly forbid such unions, the prevailing scholarly view draws an analogy from the impermissibility of marriage between free men and slave women (even within the same species, i.e., humans). This rationale extends to jinn and humans, based on perceived differences in nature and potential complications.
The reasoning often includes:
- Difference in Nature: Jinn are created from smokeless fire, while humans are created from clay. This fundamental difference raises questions about compatibility and understanding.
- Potential for Harm: Concerns exist about the potential for harm or exploitation, given the jinn's often-unseen nature and potentially greater powers.
- Issues of Lineage and Inheritance: Establishing clear lineage and inheritance rights for any offspring would present significant challenges.
- Scholarly Consensus: A significant number of Islamic scholars have historically expressed reservations or outright prohibitions regarding such unions.
It is important to note that this is a complex issue with varying opinions among some scholars. However, the predominant view leans towards the impermissibility of marriage between humans and jinn.
