Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does Shaytan actually take on a form for those who seek nearness to Allah through the dead and the absent, or does he come to them in dreams?
Answer:
He takes on a form for them in reality; they see him while awake. They see him addressing them and answering them. He brings them dates and fruit to entice them and mislead them, may Allah protect us from that. He comes to them while they are awake and while they are sleeping. Yes.
