The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an in Frightening Places

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it obligatory for us to recite something from the Qur'an if we want to go out at night to a place in the desert, the valleys, or the mountains?

Answer:
It is not obligatory for you to recite, but it is prescribed for you to say:
I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He createdأعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق
Sunan Abi Dawud 3898Sahih (Al-Albani)
,
Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'a ismihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa Huwas-Sami'ul-'Alimباسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء، وهو السميع العليم
Sunan Ibn Majah 3869
three times; because this is among the means of protection. And if you recite, the entire Qur'an is good, but it is not obligatory. Whoever recites, there is no harm; the Qur'an is good, and it is among the remembrance of Allah . But along with this, he says:
I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He createdأعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق
Sunan Abi Dawud 3898Sahih (Al-Albani)
three times,
Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'a ismihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa Huwas-Sami'ul-'Alimباسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء، وهو السميع العليم
Sunan Ibn Majah 3869
three times. All of this is among the means of safety and preservation. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
