The ruling on cursing Iblis when angry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for me, when I am angry, to say, “May Allah curse Iblis”?
Answer:
What benefit is there in that? Iblis is already cursed; Allah has cursed him. But you should blame yourself, not Iblis. You should blame yourself for the sin and the transgression. Do not limit yourself to cursing Iblis without repenting or seeking forgiveness. Iblis is already cursed; he does not need you to add to his curse. Then he says: It is reported in a hadith that Iblis is pleased when he leads you to a sin and then you regret it and curse him. He rejoices, saying, “I have influenced the son of Adam” or “I have harmed the son of Adam.” Yes, so you must repent and seek forgiveness. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
