re: What Do Jinn eats & Drinks?

I heard they eat bones or something? I recall reading something about that in a hadith.

re: What Do Jinn eats & Drinks?

I was listening a lecture of an Imam where he told that 'after eating the meat, when we throw the bones then should read ‘Bismillah’ before throwing it, because Allah SWT (ghaib se) puts meat on those used bones and Muslim Jinnat eat that meat and if we don’t read ‘Bismillah’ then the non-muslim (shaitan) jin eat it.

I think it is or similar to this recorded in hadith also.

Re: What Do Jinns eat & Drink?

Who cares what they eat as long as they are not eating our food. It is not enough for human race. We cannot afford to share it with them.

i believe they do NOT eat…they do NOT need to…they are NOT like us…Allah knows best what their means of sustenance is, if there is any! it’s NOT important to know.

That is a correct recollection. I have read the same. See quote below:

Ibn Masud reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: **“There came to me an inviter on behalf of the Jinn and I went along with him and recited to them the Qur’an.”** He (the narrator) said: The Prophet then went along with us and showed us their traces and traces of their embers. The Jinn asked the Prophet about their provision and he said: **“Every bone on which the name of Allah is recited is your provision. The time it will fall in your hand it would be covered with flesh, and (you can have) all the droppings as food for your animals.”** The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, **“So do not use (these things) for cleaning yourselves (after relieving oneself), for they are the food and provision of your brothers (Jinn).”** (Reported by Muslim)The believing jinn may eat any bone on which the name of Allah has been mentioned, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit them to have anything on which Allah’s Name has not been mentioned – those are for the unbelieving jinn. ** The beasts of the jinn ** According to the Hadith reported by Ibn Masud, that we have quoted above, the jinn asked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for provision, and he said to them: “…and (you can have) all the droppings as food for your animals.”

Khalil bhai, I don’t think anyone can say that we don’t need to know when related to our religion, knowledge is important and I always wondered what the answer was to this questions and thanks to BBCue for asking and others on the reply

Mirch:

^ its a good reminder for muslim families to cover up all leftover food and throw away the trash AND to read bismillah before they eat food!
