Does reciting the Qur'an from a recording have an effect in driving away the Shayatins?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If one leaves the recorder or the radio on continuously playing the recitation of the Qur'an, or specifically Surat al-Baqarah, in the house, does this have an effect in driving away the Shayatins? And does the matter differ if the reciter on the recording is the owner of the house, who intended to record it for this purpose, or if it is someone else?

Answer:
Reciting the Qur'an is an act of worship that a recorder does not perform. Reciting the Qur'an is an act of worship that requires intention; an inanimate recorder does not perform it. Therefore, the recitation from a recorder does not suffice in place of reciting the Qur'an with the tongue; it does not suffice. Yes.
