Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to curse Shaytan? We say that Allah curses Shaytan, or is this not permissible?
Answer:
And you, there is no blame on you, but cursing Shaytan is not what is obligatory. What is obligatory is that you repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness. Do not occupy yourself with cursing Shaytan. Shaytan rejoices in that, in your cursing him. He says to me, "I have harmed him; I have overcome him." So you must turn to repentance and seeking forgiveness. Shaytan is cursed whether you curse him or not. So you must blame yourself and repent and seek forgiveness. This is what is obligatory for you. Yes.
