What is the extent of the permissibility of seeking refuge with Allah in every rak'ah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The following question is about the permissibility of seeking refuge with Allah in every rak'ah; reciting "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan"?
The Shaykh : There is no explicit text regarding seeking refuge in every rak'ah, so it is a matter of scholarly disagreement. I do not think a person should be fanatical about either of the two differing opinions, but rather should take what his soul finds comfort in and what opens his chest. It has become clear to me that seeking refuge before every al-Fatihah in every rak'ah is the stronger position; due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nahl 16:98], but there is no explicit hadith indicating this opinion; rather, it is derived by inference and argued for by the generality of the verse.
Yes.

So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah
فإذا قرأت القرآن فاستعذ باللهYes.
