The ruling on specifically reciting Surat al-Mulk before sleep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you for your questions. This question begins by saying: They say that reciting Surat al-Mulk at night before sleep is considered a religious innovation (bid'ah). Is this correct?
Answer:
I do not know of a specific ruling to recite Surat al-Nur before sleep, but it has been reported regarding its virtue that it saves one from the punishment of the grave. So it is a blessed surah. As for specifying that it should be recited at the time of sleep, I do not know of any evidence for that. Yes.
