Summary
Reciting Quranic verses over people, places and animals is permissible, especially with the intention of seeking protection from the evil eye and envy, based on general evidence that encourages treatment with the Quran. For the practice of playing Quran cassettes or CDs on cattle or poultry farms, the intention must be corrected. The aim is for farmers to constantly remember Allah and His verses, not merely for the animals, since the owners themselves should gain the benefit and guidance.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan persoalan di atas, maka dibolehkan membaca ayat-ayat al-Quran sama ada kepada orang atau tempat dan juga binatang.
