The ruling on reciting the Qur'an in a house before moving into it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, when they build a house before moving into it, bring in reciters to recite in it. Does this have a basis?
Answer:
I do not know of any basis for it; I do not know of anything in it. However, reciting the Qur'an has benefits, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 780, and he said: Muwatta Malik 9:81. It is also enlivened by dhikr and prayer, and this is required.
Q: If it is made a custom when building a house or in such cases?
A: I do not know of any basis for it.
Q: Is it said to be a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
A: Allah knows best. Perhaps leaving it off is better. And if the owner of the house does it, ruling that it is a bid'ah (religious innovation) requires [further] consideration.

Satan runs away from the house in which Surah Baqara is recited.
فإنَّ الشيطان يفرُّ من البيت الذي تُقرأ فيه سورة البقرةDo some of the prayers in your houses.
