What possible help is there for the problem of jinn stealing money, despite reading Surat Al-Baqarah and hiding the money in the Mus'haf?
Placing money inside a Qur'anic book or a book of supplications and remembrances is not considered a protection against theft. Similarly, Satan does not open a lock, uncover a vessel, or untie a knot. Therefore, a Muslim should keep their money in a locked place, mention the name of Allah over it, and then seek Allah's help. Moreover, one should not assert with certainty that jinn are the ones who steal money, as the perpetrator could be from among the human devils.
