Which things are jinn attracted to?

· 8 Jumada II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is there any evidence that Jinn are attracted to perfume, women and an unclean person and when someone goes out at night?

Answer

There is evidence of them being attracted to filth. Similarly for a woman who is not dressed correctly. We have not heard of perfume. Movement of the jinnaat is more free at night more especially when there is no other movement around.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
