Is It Obligatory to Seek Refuge from the Accursed Devil Before Reciting the Qur'an?
Answer:
Allah ﷻ commands:
"فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّـهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ"
“So when you recite the Qur’an, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shayṭān.”
[Surah an-Naḥl: 98]
Through this verse, Allah ﷻ has instructed His servants via the words of His Prophet ﷺ that when they intend to recite the Qur’an, they should seek protection from the accursed Shayṭān.
However, the command here is one of recommendation (nadb), not obligation (wujūb).
Therefore, it is recommended to seek refuge from Shayṭān before beginning the recitation.
