Summary
This fatwa holds that marriage between humans and jinn is not permissible because they differ in kind and nature. Scholars are divided on the matter, with views of prohibited, disliked and permissible, and the fatwa cites Shafii scholars who prohibit it. It also lists harms of allowing it, including adultery attributed to the jinn world, confusion over lineage of offspring, dangers of interacting with jinn, and many difficult unresolved questions.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpendapat, tidak harus perkahwinan antara jin dan manusia kerana ia berlainan jenis dan juga tabiatnya.
