Do whispers and doubts about Islam during fasting necessitate expiation, knowing that these whispers did not lead to action or speech, and that the questioner has returned to complete faith?
These whispers do not take the questioner out of Islam, and as long as they are disliked and shunned, they do no harm. Their detestation is a sign of true faith, and striving against them indicates immense good.

As for the devil's whispers during , there is no problem with them. The chaining of devils does not completely prevent their movement, but rather weakens them. It is possible that the chained devils are specifically the rebellious jinn.
