Cursing Satan and Exaggerating in It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Allah has informed us that He has cursed Satan. He asks: Is it prescribed for a Muslim to curse Satan and to do so frequently?
Answer:
Allah’s curse upon him is sufficient. If you curse him, he rejoices and says, “Have I angered the son of Adam?” So do not curse him. But beware of following him, stay away from him, and seek refuge in Allah from his evil. Instead of cursing him, seek refuge in Allah from Satan. Yes. As for cursing, he is already cursed and does not need more. Yes.
