Do the angels record the words of marital intimacy, and are they considered good or bad deeds?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Scholars have differed on whether the guardian angels record everything a person says, or only what pertains to reward and punishment. Many of them have concluded that they write down everything, based on the generality of Allah’s statement: "He does not utter any word except that with him is an observer, ready [to record]." Scholars have differed on whether the angel records every word or only what entails reward and punishment, and the apparent meaning of the verse indicates the former.
