Is it permissible to play a Quranic tape at home and then leave the house, even if there is no one present to listen to it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Holy Quran is a book of guidance and light. Its recitation and listening to it carry great reward, and its recitation in the home expels devils. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, Satan flees from the house in which Surat Al-Baqarah is recited." Also, reciting Surat Al-Baqarah in the house at night prevents the devil from entering for three nights, and during the day for three days. Therefore, there is no harm in playing a Quranic recording in the home, even if there is no listener, and it is preferable to play Surat Al-Baqarah to expel devils.
