Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener, Raziq ibn Masilh al-Halifi, sent a message containing a number of questions. In one of them, he asks about reciting Ayat al-Kursi, the Mu'awwidhat, and Surat al-Ikhlas when going to sleep, and after the prayers: which one should one start with? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
After the prayer, one starts with Ayat al-Kursi, then recites: [Surat al-Ikhlas: 1] and the two Mu'awwidhat. This is the apparent meaning of the texts. Likewise, when going to sleep, one recites Ayat al-Kursi, then recites the surahs. If one starts with these before that, it does no harm. Praise be to Allah, the matter is broad. Whether one recites the surahs first and then Ayat al-Kursi, or starts with Ayat al-Kursi, the matter is broad.
And so it is after the prayer; the matter is broad. If one starts with Ayat al-Kursi because it is at the beginning of the Qur'an, and then recites the three surahs because they are at the end of the Qur'an, that is good, in terms of order. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
