Some of those who eat coals at festivals say: The reason for eating the coals is the fear of Allah and the strength of faith!

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of those who eat coals at the festival celebrations say that the reason for eating the coals is that it is a supernatural act, and its cause is the fear of Allah and the strength of faith. Is the speech of such people correct? And are they truthful?

Answer:
This is invalid, and this is from the tricks of the devils. This is charlatanism, sorcery. He puts a coal in his pocket and it is empty, or he eats it if it is connected to his pocket. But all of this is tricks, an image of a coal, a wave of a coal, and all of it is things from the stage. This is from the stage, just as the people of Pharaoh did: It is imaginary magic, a lie, and a falsehood. They are not awliya (close friends of Allah) from the awliya of Satan, nor are they from the awliya of mercy, as they come to you in this conclusion.
They do things from the deeds of the devils and say these are karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) and we are the awliya of Allah. And they do not pray, they do not fast, and they do not scrupulously avoid zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) and theft, and they say we are the awliya of Allah. Yes.
