The Ruling on Saying: "Ya Satar"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this question was received from one of the brothers. He says: I hope Shaykh Salih will answer it. They say that "Satar" is the name of a jinn demon, so if you say "Ya Satar," you have associated partners with Allah without knowing it, and the correct word is "Sitar." What is your view on this?
Answer:
I do not know of any jinn named Sater. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has the name al-Steer. What is Sater? It is Steer, as it was authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
