Playing the recorder with the recitation of Surat al-Baqarah in the new house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Khalid says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for us to place a recorder in the new house to play Surat al-Baqarah for a week or two before we move in, and have it running day and night? Is this permissible?
Answer:
This has no basis. Recitation from a recorder is not considered recitation in the sense that it drives the Shaytan out of the house. It was reported that the Shaytan flees from the house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited, meaning recitation from the tongue, that one recites it, because recitation is an act, and an act must be with intention, and it must be from a Muslim, not from a machine or from iron. Yes.
