How to Recite the Mu'awwidhat, Blow, and Wipe When Going to Sleep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is also reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding his practice when going to sleep that he would recite the Mu'awwidhat, blow with them into his hands, and wipe with them as much of his body as he could. My question to Your Excellency the Shaykh: Does one recite and blow three times and wipe once? Or does one recite and blow three times and wipe three times?
Answer:
The best is that for every verse, one recites and blows, then wipes, then recites the second verse and blows, and so on. Or, if one completes the surah, one blows with the whole of it, then wipes, then does the same for the second surah; that is better. It is also permissible to gather the surahs together and then wipe with them all at once, but this is less effective and less beneficial. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
