Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the ruling on invoking Allah's name over a person if he falls?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on saying the name of Allah when a person falls? And what is the ruling when some people, upon falling or stumbling, say: “O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad”?
The Shaykh:
Yes, when he falls, he says “Bismillah” (In the name of Allah), or when he falls, he mentions the name of Allah over himself, because this protects him from Shaytan, for the name of Allah protects him from Shaytan. And because if he falls and does not mention the name of Allah, he may be struck by a jinn, and the jinn will take revenge on him. But if he mentions the name of Allah, Allah will protect him by His name.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
