The Meaning of Chaining the Shayatins in Ramadan

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, it is reported that when Ramadan arrives, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the shayatin are chained. He says: But there is still whispering and sins among the people. What is the meaning of this chaining?

Answer:
Yes, the shayatin are chained from the people of faith and the people of righteous deeds; the shayatin are chained from them. As for the people of open sinfulness, lewdness, and sins, the shayatin are empowered over them in Ramadan and in other times. Allah the Exalted said: The shayatin are only chained from the believers who obey Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. As for the people of misguidance, the people of disbelief, the people of atheism, and the people of deviation, the shayatin are empowered over them in Ramadan and in other times. Therefore, you see them becoming active in their misguidance in Ramadan; they prepare distracting, trivial, and low-quality programs for Ramadan. This is the work of the shayatin, the shayatin of mankind and the jinn. Yes.
