Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Does Satan’s hunting of a man coincide with a decrease in the degree of faith, or with the faith of every man and his degree of faith? This is about Satan.
Answer:
There is no doubt that Satan dominates those weak in faith; Satan dominates them. As for the one strong in faith, Satan cannot overcome him.
