Machine translationRead the Arabic original
How does a father protect his children with the prescribed adhkar? Is it done in the morning and evening? And is it done by wiping or by blowing?
As for the young children, he protects them with the two Mu'awwidhat (the last two surahs) when they sleep, or when the night approaches, or when the day approaches. As for the older ones, they take charge of this themselves; he teaches them and guides them. And among the supplications a person makes in the morning and evening is: (O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly affairs, my family, and my wealth) This is a type of seeking protection.
The questioner: Is it by wiping or by blowing?The Shaykh: No.
By blowing only.
