Seeking Refuge with Allah When Reciting the Verse of the Throne

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is 'Abdullah from al-Qasim. He says: Praise be to Allah, I am diligent in maintaining the morning and evening adhkar. Is it prescribed for me, O Shaykh, to seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytan when reciting the Verse of the Throne or the two verses at the end of Surat al-Baqarah?

Answer:
Yes, it is prescribed to seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytan before every recitation of the Qur'an. Allah the Exalted said:
So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].فإذا قرأت القرآن فاستعذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
[An-Nahl 16:98]
So among the etiquettes of reciting the Qur'an is seeking refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytan before doing so, because seeking refuge drives away the Shaytan, so that he does not disturb a person's recitation and reflection upon the Qur'an. Yes.
