Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the sister has the last question. She says: Can the Shayatins (devils) enter a person’s body and harm him? O Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
Without a doubt, as Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:275], and He touches the person. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 4719Sahih (Al-Albani). Allah has given him power and granted him this ability. However, if a person takes refuge in Allah from his evil and seeks Allah’s protection from his evil, then Allah will protect him and shield him from him. But if he neglects the remembrance of Allah and neglects it, then the Shaytan will be able to seize him. Yes.

إن الشيطان يجري من ابن آدم مجرى الدم
