The Ruling on Cursing Satan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say that it is not permissible to curse Shaytan, because he becomes arrogant.

Answer:
In the hadith, it is not permissible to curse Shaytan, may Allah curse him. You do not need to curse him. Also, if you curse Shaytan, it means you have cleared yourself and placed the blame on Shaytan when you disobeyed Allah. So this is proof that you have attributed your sin to Shaytan and cleared yourself. Shaytan rejoices in this and says, "I led him astray." So you should repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness, and do not curse Shaytan. Yes.
