Is it permissible to shower late at night, such as before Fajr or Tahajjud prayers? I have heard that bathing at this time can be dangerous due to potential Jinn possession. Is there any truth to this belief?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes it is permissible to have a shower or bath at any time including Fajr or before Fajr or after midnight. There is no question of any danger and such claim of danger is baseless.

Does Iblis have a spouse? What is the method of reproduction for Iblis and the Jinn from his tribe?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

In Quran we read in Sura Al-Kahn, verse 50: Do you take Shaitan and his offspring’s friends rather than Me? This means that Iblus has offspring. Iblis is from the Jinn who have males and females among them. There are narrations in Sunni and Shia books about Shaitan’s homo way of reproduction but we can not confirm the degree of the authenticity of those narrations.

Do Jinn or Shaytan feel disturbed by the prayers of a devout household where everyone engages in remembrance of Allah, as my daughter has been experiencing sleep disturbances and discomfort?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

1. Not all Jinns are bad but there are among Jinns believers as well as non believers as we read in Quran :( There are among us some righteous and some contrary, we are groups having different ways). Sura Al-Jinn, verse 11.

2. Shaytan (Satan) does not like us obeying Allah, but he can not freely harm us just because of our worshiping Allah as far as we seek help and protection from Allah (SWT). Ahlul Bayt (AS) and their families were the most devout servants of Allah (SWT) ,yet Shayan could not harm them.

3. Sleep disturbance might have different reasons but we have in the authentic narrations guidelines for avoiding disturbance like: 1. Performing Wudhu before going to bed. 2. Reciting Ayatul Kursi and Sura Falaq and Sura Naas before sleeping.

3. Reciting Tasdeeq of Fatimah (AS) before sleeping.

4. Reciting Estighfaar and Salawaat.

5. Reciting يفعل الله ما يشاء بقدرته ويُحكِم ما يريد بعزَّته

YAF'ALOLLAH MAA YASHAA BIQODRATIH WA YUHKIMU MAA YUREEDU BI'IZZATIH.
