Question:
When Ramadan arrives, the devils are chained, the jinn are restrained, the gates of Paradise are opened, and the gates of the Fire are closed. What is the explanation of this hadith and what is its authenticity, O Shaykh?
Answer:
The hadith is authentic and established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). It applies to those who rejoice in the month of Ramadan and draw near to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) through righteous deeds. They maintain the obligatory acts and pray the tarawih prayer with the Muslims, as well as the tahajjud prayer. The devils are chained away from them so that they may be able to perform righteous deeds. The gates of the Fire are closed to these people, and the gates of Paradise are opened for them. As for the lazy and the idle, they do not fall under the meaning of this hadith. Yes.
