Question:
Assalaam ‘alaykum,
I acted like Shaytan. Someone asked me about one of the biggest sin and I did discourage sincerely from not doing that. My heart was so dark at that time that I was feeling happy inside me that she was going to do that. I was that one who planned the meeting between her and her bfriend (without knowing for 100% that she was going to do that, that day). She already met the bfriend numerous times before but didn’t commit the sin. I’m regretting deeply. She isn’t shy of telling her friends. I don’t see much regret in her. I didn’t advise her sincerely, but from how I know her, may be she would have done it some other time but I cannot say for sure. I can say for sure that I acted like Shaytan. Is there any kaffarah ya Sayyidi? I’m sad by that.
Answer:
Alaykum salam,
Visit orphanage, bring gifts and teach them Fatiha. Smile to them and show them tenderness. Visit the graves, hospitals and prisons. Cry for your soul and ask Allah to make you more thankful for what He gave you. That is your kaffara because you have a hard heart, and this advice is from Umm Darda’ (Allah be well-pleased with her).
