All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.
The jinn are accountable for worship and obedience to Allah. Allah sent His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ to them just as He sent him to humankind. Allah, the Most High, says:
“O company of jinn and mankind...”
Scholars unanimously agree that disbelieving jinn will enter Hellfire. However, they differed regarding the fate of believing jinn. Some held that they will be saved from Hellfire without entering Paradise, while the majority of scholars held that they will enter Paradise. This is the stronger and more evidence-based opinion.
Among the proofs that believing jinn will enter Paradise are:
1. Allah's statement:
﴿But for whoever fears standing before his Lord there will be two gardens. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?﴾ [Ar-Rahman: 46–47].
The address in this surah is directed to both jinn and humankind, indicating that the promise of Paradise includes both.
2. Allah's statement:
﴿Untouched before them by any human or jinn﴾ [Ar-Rahman: 56].
Some scholars have used this verse as evidence that jinn enter Paradise, because it mentions jinn alongside humans in describing its blessings.
3. Allah's statement:
﴿And for all are degrees according to what they have done﴾ [Al-An'am: 132].
This verse occurs in the context of addressing both jinn and humankind, indicating that they will be rewarded according to their deeds, just as humans are.
4. The general meaning of the verses promising Paradise:
Such as Allah's statement:
﴿But those who believe and do righteous deeds – those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.﴾ [Al-Baqarah: 82].
These verses include both jinn and humankind, because both are commanded to believe and perform righteous deeds.
A number of scholars preferred this opinion, including Ibn Kathir, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Ibn Hazm. Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned that the majority of scholars hold that believing jinn will enter Paradise.
Conclusion: The stronger opinion is that believing jinn will enter Paradise, and this is the position of the majority of scholars. As for disbelieving jinn, their destination is Hellfire.
And Allah knows best
