Leaving the radio on a Qur'an broadcast to drive away the Shayatins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on leaving the television or radio on a broadcast of the Noble Qur'an while I am outside the house, not listening to it, but in order to drive the Shayatins out of the house?
Answer:
No, this has no basis. Driving away the Shayatins is a rigid thing. Recitation does not take place without intention. The recitation that drives away the Shayatins requires the intention of the reciter. As for placing a recorded device and saying that it drives away the Shayatins, that is not the case.
