Is there anything that protects the fetus in its mother's womb from the jinn?
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, urged a man to pronounce the Name of Allah when having intercourse with his wife, saying: "In the name of Allah, O Allah, keep Shaytan away from us, and keep Shaytan away from what You have bestowed upon us." He explained that whoever does so and is blessed with a child, Shaytan will never harm that child. The fetus is protected by the parents' persistence — especially the mother's — in the remembrance of Allah, the morning and evening remembrances, the performance of obligatory duties, and avoidance of sins.
