The house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited is not entered by a devil; is it obligatory to recite the surah in one sitting?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that
the house in which Surah Baqara is recitedالبيت الذي تقرأ فيه سورة البقرة
Sahih Muslim 780
is not entered by a devil. So do we recite it all at once, or in stages?

Answer:
It depends on one's ability and capacity. If you recite it all at once, that is better and more excellent. If you divide it over periods, there is nothing wrong with that. The matter is broad in this regard, and the hadith is general; it includes the one who recites it all at once, and it includes the one who recites it in parts until he has completed it in the house.
