Ruling on playing Surat al-Baqarah to drive out the devils
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Nasser al-Shamri says: Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Is it permissible to play Surat al-Baqarah from the mosque to drive the devils out of the house, and while we are going out?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that the devil does not enter a house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited. It must be recited with a living voice. As for the recording, that is only a recorded voice; that is not sufficient. The recording is not sufficient, because reciting the Qur’an is an act of worship, and a recording does not perform an act of worship. It must be recited by a believer. Yes.
