Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it said categorically that the bad smell of a Muslim’s sweat indicates the wickedness of his inner self and his secrets?
Answer:
The sweat they call *sitan*—and this exists in the Muslim—its original substance is disliked. It is not disliked because it comes from a disbeliever. This *sitan* is loathsome in the Muslim and the disbeliever alike, by its very nature. Yes.
