Q: Why do we read Tawooz when reading Quran in Ramaadaan when shaytan is locked up anyway? (text)
A:

• Allah states in the Quran: When you reciete the Quran,  read Tawooz (aozoo billahi Minasahytaan nirajeem – i seek protection in Allah from Shaytan the cursed.)
• Allah did not say refrain from reading Tawooz in Ramadaan. It is a general statement for all months.
• Although shaytan is locked, our desires are not ‘locked,’ therefore we should continue to seek protection from even the evil of ourselves, friends and family, etc.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
