Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In Allah's saying,[An-Nahl 16:99] does that include those whom the Shayatins (devils) possess, that they are relying upon Allah, and that they are not the awliya (close friends of Allah) of Shaytan?
Answer:
Those whom the Shayatin possess, this is a type of illness, not a type of creed. His creed is sound; he is a believer, but he was afflicted with this illness for one of the reasons. As for his creed, it is sound. Yes.
