Can jinns be seen?
Q0037: As salaamu alaykum akhy jazaka Allaahu khairan for answering my question. I have one more questions, Can jinn or shayateen be seen? I have read on islamqa that jinn cannot be seen based on the ayah of the qur'an. I have heard and read people claiming to have seen the jinn. Sorry to bother you with this question. May Allaah reward you immensely, ameen

Wa alaykum as salam.
As mentioned on Islam QA that jinns cannot be seen in their natural form. They are invisible to humans. Invisible means that it does not reflect or absorb light but allows it to pass through. They maybe also be outside the visible spectrum of the human eye. Some animals, namely the donkey and dog, can see shaytan as mentioned in hadith. I suspect this might be due to the fact their eyes can see a different spectrum range than human being.
However as jinns can shape shift they can take forms of things which can be seen by humans. Some people have reported seeing a black or white smoke-like figure which has no distinct shape. Like a human covered in a white bed sheet except they are translucent.
Sometimes people who are possessed by jinns can see other jinns too but this is most likely when the jinn is manifest on the person. Some have reported seeing blue, red or other colored orbs of different sizes floating.
The appearance of jinns differ depending on the type of jinn it is.
In conclusion, not everyone who sees a jinn is possessed and not every possessed people will see a jinn. Keep yourself, family and home protected, as the old saying goes 'prevention is always better than cure'.
Allah Knows Best.
