Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on seeking refuge when reciting the Verse of the Throne? And is it true that it is better not to use the seeking of refuge in a place where Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is mentioned, but rather to use the basmalah?
Answer:
No, this is a false statement.[An-Nahl 16:98]. Who is the one who says this is not appropriate? Allah says, "So seek refuge in Allah." And he says it is not appropriate? Yes.

Answer:
No, this is a false statement.
So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
