Answer:

Bismillah, was sholaatu was salam 'ala Rasulillah.

The genie (Jinn) is a creature of God created to worship, like a human being. Rasulullah shallallahu'alaihi wa sallam was sent to convey the message to them as well, as to man. Therefore, ahlussunnah wal jama'ah believes in the existence of jinn, considering the many verses in which describe their existence as well as saheeh traditions.

It's just that jinn are in a realm that can not be reached by human eyes. Although they are able to see us. However,

could human beings have a chance to see jinns?

The answer is probably. But not in its original form, ie when the genie transformed into a human or animal.

No one can see the jinn in their original form except the Prophets. In addition to the Prophet, they were able to see the jinn when the jinn became human or animal.

The argument is the word of Allah ' azza wa jalla,

....إنه يراكم هو وقبيله من حيث لا ترونهم....

.....Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them.... (Surah Al-A'raf: 27)

From the above verse, Imam Syafi'i rahimahullah concluded,

من زعم من أهل العدالة أنه يرى الجن أبطلنا شهادته ... الا أن يكون نبيا

The just people who thought he was able to see the genuine form of the jinn, then our testimony is canceled, unless he is the Prophet ... (See: Tobaqot Asy-Syafi'iyyah Al-Kubra: 2/130)

Jinn Can Be Human Being

Hadith of Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu'anhu , who told his story when assigned Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam to keep the zakat fitrah. Told in the hadith that there is a steal foods collection zakat fitrah. When his actions caught Abu Hurairah's hand, he threatened him "By Allah, I will indeed report you to the Messenger of Allaah sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam !"

He begged Abu Hurairah for compassion, "I really need. I have a family and I really need this. "

Hearing this, Abu Hurayrah felt sorry for him.

When the morning came, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam asked about the incident last night,

"Abu Hurairah, what did your prisoner did last night?"

"O Messenger of Allah, he complained that he is in need condition and also have a family. Therefore, I am so sorry for him that I let him go. "Answer Abu Hurairah.

The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, " He lied to you. He will come again. "

And it turns out the saying of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam , the man came back for the same reason.

Until the third day, Abu Hurairah was absolutely determined to take him to the Messenger of Allah. Feared by fear, it turns out that the man instead teaches Abu Hurairah a dhikr, which when read while want to sleep, then Allah will send guards and demons will not be able to approach him until the morning. Dhikr is the verse of the chair.

His experience last night, he conveyed to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam .

قلت قال لى إذا أويت إلى فراشك فاقرأ آية الكرسى من أولها حتى تختم (الله لا إله إلا هو الحى القيوم وقال لى لن يزال عليك من الله حافظ ولا يقربك شيطان حتى تصبح, وكانوا أحرص شىء على الخير

O Messenger of Allah, he said to me taught me if you want to go to sleep in bed, read verses kursy to finish, that is reading:

Allahu laa ilaha illa huwal hayyul qoyyum .... ' .

Then he tells me that God will always take care of me and the devil will not approach you until the morning. And the Companions are very zealous in doing good. "

The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam responded,

أما إنه قد صدقك وهو كذوب, تعلم من تخاطب منذ ثلاث ليال يا أبا هريرة

"As for that time he was right, but he was a liar. Do you know who's been talking to you for three nights, Abu Hurairah? "

"No ...", replied Abu Hurairah.

The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

ذاك شيطان

"He is a demon."

(Bukhari, 2311)

Ibn Katsir rahimahullah , in his tafsir, narrates the narration of Ibn Abbas radhiyallahu'anhuma, that the devil / jin kafir, ever appeared in the form of Suroqoh bin Malik bin Ju'syum. He provoked the polytheists to attack the Muslims in the battle of Badr. His provoked Speech recorded in the Qur'an,

....وإذ زين لهم الشيطان أعمالهم وقال لا غالب لكم اليوم من الناس وإني جار لكم

And [remember] when Satan made their deeds pleasing to them and said, "No one can overcome you today from among the people, and indeed, I am your protector."....

(Surat al-Anfal: 48).

But when the devil sees the angel Gabriel, he immediately runs scarce. An idolater could hold his hand while collecting a promise,

يا سراقة, أتزعم أنك لنا جار?

"O Suraqah, do not you say you will help us!"

Satan swiftly let go of the hand, saying as quoted in a verse,

إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّنكُمْ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّـهَ....

ۚ وَاللَّـهُ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ

...."Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I see what you do not see; indeed I fear Allah . And Allah is severe in penalty."

(Surat al-Anfal: 48)

(See: Tafsir Ibn Kathir 4/73)

Jin Can Be Incarnate Be Animal

Hadith from the companions of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri radhiyallahu'anhu , he said, "I heard the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

إن بالمدينة نفرا من الجن قد أسلموا فمن رأى شيئا من هذه العوامر فليؤذنه ثلاثا فإن بدا له بعد فليقتله فإنه شيطان

Indeed in Medina there are a number of Jin who have embraced Islam. Who sees the snake in your house, then allow him for 3 days. If more than that then please be killed, because he is a demon . (Muslim)

Imam Nawawi explains,

معناه وإذا لم يذهب بالإنذار علمتم أنه ليس من عوامر البيوت ولا ممن أسلم من الجن بل هو شيطان فلا حرمة عليكم فاقتلوه

Meaning, if the snake did not go after being expelled, you know that the snake is not a snake that used to enter the house or not the Muslim Jin, but he is the devil, he has no honor before you, please be killed .. (Al-Minhaj Syarah Shahih Muslim , 14/236).
