What is the recommended supplication when moving into a new rented house?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is recommended for one who has moved into a new home to say: "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created." It is also recommended for him to say: "O Allah, I ask You for the best entrance and the best exit. In the name of Allah, we enter, and in the name of Allah, we exit, and upon Allah, our Lord, we rely." Furthermore, it is recommended to recite some Qur'an, especially Surat Al-Baqarah, because Satan flees from a house in which Surat Al-Baqarah is recited. This applies whether the home is owned or rented.
