The Harm of Satan to the Righteous Man
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it possible for Satan to cause harm to a righteous man? And how do we explain the harm caused by the jinn to some of the sorcerers and those possessed, despite the fact that they recite Ayat al-Kursi?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is according to what Allah decrees. It may be a punishment for the Muslim; the Muslim is punished and the believer is punished. So this is a punishment for a sin he committed or a disobedience he did, and Satan is given power over him as a punishment for him. Yes.
The questioner:
Ya-ku, ya-ku.
The Shaykh:
He is not given full power over him, but in this matter it is a punishment for him. Yes.
