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, but also taken "quite seriously" by both medieval and modern Muslim scholars,[4] 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]

Belief in jinn is not included among the six articles of Islamic faith, as belief in angels is. Nontheless, many Muslim scholars, including the Hanbalī scholar ibn Taymiyya and the Ẓāhirī scholar ibn Hazm, believe they are essential to the Islamic faith, since they are mentioned in the Quran. |

Openly expressing of doubt about the existence of j̲inn was not common even amidst the Muʿtazila; and among the erstwhile philosophers, al-Fārābī also, tried to skip the question with vague definitions. Ibn Sīnā was an outlier-- he outrightly rejected their existence.[1] In present-day Islam, only a "small number" believes that jinn in the Quran should be understood symbolically instead of literally.[2]
(In 1995 a Professor Nasr Abu Zayd was accused of blaspheme and apostasy, in part for his alleged disbelief in Jinn.[3] He left Egypt for exile after a joint statement calling for his killing was issued by a group of professors at al-Azhar University, the "theological centre of Egypt".)[4][5]

Authors and researchers of parts of the Muslim world have compared belief in jinn to that of belief in angels. Writing about Muslims in South Asia. Sarah E. Lamb and Diane P. Mines have called the belief a primary articles of faith in Islam — so that disbelief in them would be heretical;[1] Philip Hermans writes that belief in jinn in Morocco is "very much alive" and part of Islamic dogma.[2]
