92- Reality of `Aly's fight against Jinn
Q: A questioner from Republic of Yemen asks: is it true that Imam Aly (رضي الله عنه) fought the Jinn (creatures created from fire)? It is mentioned in a book called, "The battles of Imam `Aly" that he fought them until they reached the seventh earth. What is your opinion on this book?
A: This matter has no origin for `Aly did not fight the Jinn and no such thing occurred. Thus, it is one of the falsehoods and lies that humans made up. Concerning this subject, Shaykh-ul-Islam Abul-`Abbas Ibn Taymiyah said: "It is a matter which has no origin; rather it is from the falsehood which was fabricated."
