Repeating the Recitation of the Mu'awwidhat at Night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah forgive you, may Allah pardon you. Some people, when they go to sleep, recite over themselves the two protective chapters: Say, He is Allah, the One, and another recites over himself, then when he wants to put his head on his pillow, he repeats these protective verses.
The Shaykh:
It is sufficient, it is sufficient, yes, it is sufficient for the one who recites them in his hands and wipes with them, that is sufficient for him. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it. There is no basis for this act of worship, there is no basis.
The questioner:
He means he says, regarding it, that he is sick, meaning he recited this for himself.
The Shaykh:
As long as it is at the time of sleep, that is sufficient.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
For you with this and for this.
