Question:
His second question is: Does playing and listening to Surat al-Baqarah drive the Shaytan away without reciting it?
Answer:
No, the tape does not achieve the intended purpose. The intended purpose is the recitation of Surat al-Baqarah, because recitation is an act of worship, and a tape does not perform acts of worship; rather, you or someone else performs them. However, there is good in listening to the tape, but it does not take the place of reciting Surat al-Baqarah. No, that is not the case.
