Is it prescribed to seek refuge in Allah from Satan when citing the Qur'an?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, I want to ask you about the saying of Allah the Exalted: "I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed."
The Shaykh : Is this the saying of Allah the Exalted?
The questioner : Seeking refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed.
The Shaykh : Do not seek refuge in Allah before the verse you are citing as evidence or in a question, and not as recitation; because the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was that when he advised the people, preached to them, and taught them, and then mentioned a verse, he did not say "I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed." Especially since people today speak incorrectly, saying "Allah the Mighty and Majestic said" after "I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed." Did Allah say it this way, or are you saying that the Messenger of Allah said it this way after "I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed"? It is absolutely incumbent upon the Muslim to mention the verse, whether in his sermon, his lesson, his preaching, or his question. There is no need for seeking refuge. The seeking refuge commanded in the Noble Qur'an is before recitation. If you want to read ten verses from the Qur'an, a portion, or a part, seeking refuge is obligatory. As for what we are doing now, seeking refuge is not applicable.
