Summary
The fatwa concludes that marriage between a human and a jinn is prohibited. Scholars differ on the matter, but the fatwa adopts the view that forbids it. The reasons given include Quranic verses speaking of spouses from among humans themselves, the legal principle that intimacy is forbidden unless proven lawful, and the purposes of marriage such as tranquillity, affection and the continuation of human lineage. The fatwa also stresses the requirement of compatibility (kafaah) between spouses.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
