Is raising one's voice when saying the name of Allah upon mentioning the jinn considered a form of the fear that is prohibited?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It happens that some people, when a story about the jinn is mentioned or the name of the jinn is mentioned, immediately say in a loud voice, "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim," and they order those around them to say the name of Allah. Is this part of the fear that is prohibited, which the jinn magnify to increase the people's fear?

Answer:
No, this is seeking protection in Allah the Exalted. This is saying "Bismillah" and seeking refuge; this is seeking protection in Allah the Exalted. So this is good, this is good, and it is commanded.
