Bidhukh or Bayduk (Arabic: بيذخ), is the daughter of Iblis, or it is also said of the Devil's son, and that she had a throne on the water. If he who seeks this affair comes to her after doing for her what she wishes, she makes a servant of whomever he desires and fulfills his purposes. He is not isolated from her nor from anyone who makes offerings to her from among humans and animals, if he renounces the ordinances of religion and employs that which is repugnant to the mind.
It is also said that Bidhukh is the Devil himself. Another person has stated that Bidhukh is seated on her throne, and that whoever seeks to obey her is brought to her and worships her.
It is believed that she represents the pagan goddess Venus or Aphrodite.
