Is it Sunnah to recite Surah Baqarah when moving into a new house?

Question

Is it Sunnah to recite Surah Baqarah when moving into a new house?

Answer

It is not Sunnah. It is, however, permissible. But organizing a ceremony and inviting people for meals for the occasion are not permissible. To do so is bid'ah. One may recite anything of the Qur'aan when moving into a new house for barkat and safety. But there is no Masnoon practice for this occasion. It does come in the Hadith that shaitaan flees from a home where Surah Baqarah is recited.
