Is seeking refuge from Shaytan done secretly or openly?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding seeking refuge from Shaytan al-Rajim, we said that seeking refuge from other things is permissible in a state of ritual purity. However, if I wish to fear Shaytan and want to drive Shaytan away from the area where I am, it requires doing it aloud; otherwise, it is also permissible to do it secretly.
The Shaykh : No. It is as we said, secretly.
The questioner : Secretly?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
