The reason for the increase in violations during Ramadan despite the chaining of the devils

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, why do some evils, violations, and sins increase or exist in the month of Ramadan, even though the devils are chained in it?

Answer:
Yes, the devils are chained from the righteous servants of Allah so that they may be able to pray, those who fill the mosques and homes with the obedience of Allah and the remembrance of Allah. It is from these that the devils are chained in Ramadan. It is said, "O seeker of good, come forward." These are the ones who desire good, so the devils are chained from them. As for the wicked, the devils are empowered over them in this month to occupy them with other things. Therefore, the followers of Satan prepare degrading programs for this month to occupy people with it, by the dictation of Satan, who is their leader. They prepare distracting, degrading, and amusing programs on the nights of this month. This is from the dictation of Satan and the work of the close friends of Satan. As for the Muslims, they turn to the obedience of Allah, the worship of Allah, the recitation of the Qur'an, and sitting in the mosques, and they pray with the Muslims. These are the ones who receive the mercy of Allah, forgiveness, and great reward. Yes.
