Is it necessary to recite Surat Al-Baqarah in every section of the house daily—four times a day—to expel devils?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a building consisting of multiple floors has a single entrance, it is considered one house, and reciting Surat Al-Baqarah once every three days is sufficient. It is preferable to recite it on each floor if possible, for it has been reported that Satan flees from a house in which Surat Al-Baqarah is recited, and that whoever recites it at night, Satan will not enter his house for three nights, and whoever recites it during the day, Satan will not enter his house for three days.
