Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. He says: I outwardly display my hatred for some of the sins and my aversion to them, but deep in my heart I wish to commit them, yet I do not commit them and I do not commit them. So am I a hypocrite because of that?
Answer:
This is from Shaytan. Then you desire the sins, praise be to Allah. Shaytan may come to you and make them seem good to you in your heart. These are whispers from Shaytan. Yes.
