Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If one cites the permissibility of taking one's right from the devil, on the condition that he commands him with a right and he is a liar, based on the hadith of Abu Hurayrah regarding what the devil taught him of the Verse of the Throne, is this a lie?
Answer:
No, he did not command him. What is this? It is taken from 'Umar regarding the devil. It is taken from the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "He told the truth, so he is a liar." It is the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) who said this. He took it from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), not from the devil.
