Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Did the descent of the angels and their fighting alongside the believers cease with the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or is their descent possible in the future?

Answer:
It is possible that if the believers are sincere with Allah, the angels will descend and help them. What does that mean? That you take swords and fight, or guns? No, it means that the hearts of the believers are made firm and strengthened, and terror is cast into the hearts of the disbelievers. Yes.
[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelievedإِذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ
[Al-Anfal 8:12]
because they associated with Allah that for which He has not sent down any authority.
