Some people say about a mischievous child: "His father did not invoke the name of Allah over him," and is it true that Satan shares with the man in intercourse with his wife if he does not invoke the name of Allah?

The questioner : My Shaykh, regarding a question about the husband and wife; I mean, as we see today, children playing in the street, usually in our country they say: this is as if his father did not invoke the name of Allah over him, I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan; I mean, does the sharing actually occur when approaching the woman? And as for the man, does the sharing actually occur from the jinn or from the...?

The Shaykh : Excuse me, what do they say in this matter?

Another questioner : I mean, children who are like ghouls.

The questioner : ... as if his father did not invoke the name of Allah over him.

The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!

Another questioner : Yes, usually when the child has abnormal behavior.

The Shaykh: Yes.

Another questioner : As if this father, as if he forgot to invoke the name of Allah over him, or I seek forgiveness from Allah the Great.

The Shaykh : No, this is not a condition, of course.

Another questioner : They call him, they tell you about the mischievous child in the street, they tell you: you are the offspring of ghouls, go, your man is in your house, you... in colloquial terms.

Another questioner : At the invocation during intercourse.

The Shaykh : Yes, it is not a condition, I mean. He may have been negligent, or he may have fulfilled the obligation, but the fact that the child is, I mean, one who has bad behavior and is like a ghoul and so on, this is not evidence that when the man approached his wife, he did not invoke the name of Allah and did not say the known seeking of refuge during intercourse.

Another questioner : The question.

The Shaykh: This is one of the illusions.

Another questioner : No. The question is whether the sharing occurs if there is no invocation.

The Shaykh : Yes.

Another questioner : If there is no invocation; is the sharing actual, or how does the Muslim imagine it?

The Shaykh : Yes; I mean, whether he shares...

Another questioner : As in the noble verse...

The Shaykh : .

Another questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. In reality, in what I have looked into, there is no text with us that Satan shares with the man in his intercourse with his wife if he does not seek refuge in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with the prescribed seeking of refuge, but some people may understand from the seeking of refuge itself that perhaps he shares, but there is no text with us establishing that, yes, indeed.
