Punishing Fire with Fire: The Islamic Stance on the Possibility of a Fiery Chastisement for the Jinn

By Mawlana Bilal Ali

It is a matter of consensus amongst the scholars of Sunni Islam that disbelieving jinn, like their human counterparts, can and will be punished with fire in the Hereafter. This consensus is built upon a multitude of Quranic verses, amongst them verse 13 of Sūrat al-Sajdah:

Thus the word from Me has come to pass: Indeed, I shall, most surely, fill Hell with the jinn and the people [who are ungodly] – all [of them] together. (Q 32:13)
