Sons of the Prophet Yoonus (Jonah) may Allaah exalt his mention

Question

Did Prophet Yunus have any sons and if so what where their names.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

After investigation, we have not come across any source that states that the Prophet, Yoonus (i.e. Jonah)  may  Allaah  exalt  his  mention married or had children; it is Only Allaah Who knows best about this matter.

However, not knowing such knowledge does not cause any harm and knowing it does not lead to any action. What we are required to do is to believe that Yoonus  may  Allaah  exalt  his  mention was a Messenger who was sent to call people to believe in Allaah.

Allaah Knows best.
