Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks, saying: Many people, when they drop something or throw something or are frightened by something, say "Bismillah." Is there a basis for this in the Shari'ah?

Answer:
Yes, "Bismillah." One seeks protection with it from Shaytan and the jinn. This is a good thing. Yes.
