"Jinn have been called "an integral part" of the Muslim tradition[1] or faith,[2] "completely accepted" in official Islam;[3] prominently featured in folklore.[4] It is also taken "quite seriously" by both medieval and modern Muslim scholars,[5] who "worked out" the consequences implied by their existence -- legal status, the possible relations between them and mankind, especially in questions of marriage and property.[3]" --Louis P.
