Driving out the Shayatins from the house by playing the recorder
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner, Maim, says: Honorable Shaykh, I would like to ask in this program about the verses that drive out the Shayatins from the house, and what is your opinion on the matter of leaving the recording device with a tape that recites the Qur'an while we are away on our family visit?
Answer:
There is no basis for turning on the recorder to recite the Qur'an in order to drive out the Shayatins from the house; this does not achieve the intended purpose. The purpose of reciting the Qur'an is the action of the person. If a person recites Surat al-Baqarah in the house, this drives out the Shaytan, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Shayatins do not enterSahih Muslim 780.” Therefore, it is necessary that there be someone who recites the Qur'an with his tongue. As for the recorder, it is not sufficient for this, because it is not an action by the person, but merely a recorded sound.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
