Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Are the angels assigned to a human being four or two?
Answer:
[Qaf 50:18] Certainly, it is two: one on the right and one on the left. The one on the right writes the good deeds, and the one on the left writes the bad deeds. As for the ones who follow, [Ar-Ra'd 13:11] these are the ones who follow, but the guardians are two.
