Question:
I heard the questioner say: What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an in a new house out of fear of the evil eye and envy, and likewise reciting over a new car, and sprinkling water that has been recited over it inside the house and over the car? May Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
Regarding reciting the Qur'an in the house, we say that in our homes we recite Surat al-Baqarah. Reciting the Qur'an in the house is among the best of deeds. Whoever recites the Qur'an, he and his family in the house, it is all good. As for reciting over the car or blowing on it, that is not what is established. The recitation is for the human being. As for reciting over the car or the house, no. But whoever recites in the car, recites in the car, or recites in the house, this is all good. Or recites in the plane or recites on the ship, there is no harm in it, it is all good.
