Why is there
Still Evil in Ramadan if Shaytān is Chained?
Al-Qurtubī
said:
If it is said:
How is it that we see an abundance of evil and sins occurring in Ramadan; if
the devils were chained up this would not occur?
The Response:
They are only chained away from those who fast (correctly) fulfilling the
conditions of the Fast and being mindful of its etiquette.
Or it is said
that those who are chained are some of the devils; i.e., the rebellious ones,
and not all of them, as has been previously mentioned within some of the other
narrations.
Or, it is said
that what is intended is that evil is minimized in (Ramadan); and this is
something well-known. For the occurrence of that (evil/sins) is less within it
than it is in other months.
Hence, them
all being chained up does not necessitate that evil or sins will not occur. For
there are other reasons besides the devils which cause this; such as despicable
souls and evil ways, as well as human devils.
