The virtue of reciting Surat al-Baqarah in the home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Has it been reported, O Shaykh, that Surat al-Baqarah is to be recited every night, or every month, in the home?

Answer:
I am not aware of anything regarding this. What has come in the hadith is:
Satan runs away from the house in which Surah Baqara is recited.إن الشيطان يفر من البيت الذي تقرأ فيه سورة البقرة
Sahih Muslim 780
So if one recites al-Baqarah, he hopes that Allah will benefit him through it and that Allah will keep him away from Satan. There is no harm in that, but Satan may leave and then return, just as it came in the hadith:
When he hears the adhan, he turns away, and when the adhan is finished, he returns. When he hears the iqamah, he turns away, and when the iqamah is finished, he comes back.إذا سمع الأذان؛ أدبر، وإذا قضي الأذان؛ رجع، وإذا سمع الإقامة؛ أدبر، وإذا انتهت الإقامة أقبل
Like this... He may hear al-Baqarah and go out, but when they fall silent, the enemy of Allah returns. The jinn are the keepers of evil. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you.
