Fatwa CenterDo Jinns see people’s actions?
Question
Is it possible for a Jinn to know people’s sins and tell others about them?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
We advise our questioner and all our brothers and sisters who visit the Fatwa centre to only ask about important issues that involve actions and benefits related to the worldly life and the Hereafter.
As for the question, yes, Jinns can know people’s sins and can inform others of them. Humans can also do this but the Jinn are more capable due to their qualities of invisibility and fast motion, which Allaah the Almighty granted them.
In any case, knowing this is of no benefit and ignorance of it has no harm. A person must know that being seen by Allaah the Almighty while committing a sin is far more of an issue than being seen by any other creature. Allaah the Almighty Says (what means): {They conceal [their evil intentions and deeds] from the people, but they cannot conceal [them] from Allaah, and He is with them [in His knowledge] when they spend the night in such as He does not accept of speech. And ever is Allaah, of what they do, encompassing.} [Quran 4:108]
Allaah knows best.
