Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
Almighty Allah Ta’āla says, وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ And I have not created Jinn and human beings except that they worship me.(Qur’ān 51:56) It is clear from this verse that Jinns are also a creation of Allah Ta῾āla and also obliged to follow the laws of Shaī῾ah like human beings. Jinns are created from fire. There are obedient jinns as well as disobedient jinns. The term Khabīs means dirty and filthy. Generally the term khabīs refers to Shaytān. Rasulullah salallahu ῾alayhi wasallam advised when one enters the toilet, he should recite اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الخُبُثِ وَالخَبَائِثِ Oh Allah, I seek refuge in you from the male and female Khabīs (Jinnāt) (Sahīh al Bukhāri #142, 1/41, Dārut tawqun Najāt) When a person recites this du῾ā’ Allah Ta’āla creates a veil between him and the Khabīs. And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best, Muftī Ebrahim Desai Daruliftaa
