Going Astray

Tweet

A person may not require his shaytan in order to go astray, because he is already astray himself, so the chaining of his shaytan does not affect him in Ramadan:

{ قَالَ قَرِينُهُ رَبَّنَا مَا أَطْغَيْتُهُ وَلَكِنْ كَانَ فِي ضَلَالٍ بَعِيدٍ }
“His [devil] companion will say, ‘Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in error far astray.’” [Qāf 50:27]

قد لا يحتاج الإنسان إلى شيطانه ليضل، لأنه ضال بنفسه فلا يؤثر فيه تكبيل شيطانه في رمضان (قال قرينه ربنا ما أطغيته ولكن كان في ضلال بعيد)

– Shaikh Abdul Aziz Al-Tarefe
