How to Recite the Mu'awwidhat and Blow When Sleeping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible to recite the Mu'awwidhat, saying "Say: He is Allah, the One" three times, or "Say: He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Absolute; there is no god but Him" along with "Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind" together, after reciting and blowing with his hands?
The Shaykh:
He recites the Mu'awwidhat first, then wipes with them. He recites all the Mu'awwidhat.
The questioner:
All of them.
The Shaykh:
Then he wipes, then he repeats the recitation a second time, then a third time. This is better. It was the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he felt something; he would raise his hands and blow. If he did not feel anything, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite them when sleeping. Yes.
