Does lawful marriage attract the devil and negatively affect devotion and piety?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Sexual intercourse and enjoyment between spouses do not attract the devil or harden the heart. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to visit all his wives, and he was the most perfect of people in faith. Weakness of faith and hardness of heart have other causes, such as committing sins and neglecting acts of obedience.
