Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Does fear of the jinn and Shaytan affect a person's faith?
Answer:
Fear of their evil is for the purpose of seeking refuge from them and warning against them. Now, as for fearing them in order to submit to them and be humiliated before them, that is not permissible. It was said,[Al-Jinn 72:6] Fear. So, do not fear them. But fear their evil and seek refuge in Allah from their evil. Yes.
