Reading Surat Al-Baqarah in the home causes Satan to flee from it, and it is beneficial in preventing and treating sorcery. It is not a condition to read it aloud or all at once, nor is it a condition that the reader be one of the household members. Listening to the from an audio recording or broadcast does not suffice as a substitute for direct recitation, unless there is no one to recite it in the home and the household members listen to it; in that case, they may attain the virtue of Satan's flight, but Satan may return after the recitation ends.
