Muhaqqaq Masala

Reciting Ayat al-Kursi after obligatory (Fard) prayer is Sunnah, and great virtues regarding it have been narrated in the Ahadith. Accordingly, it is stated in a Hadith that whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after an obligatory prayer remains under the protection (responsibility) of Allah Almighty until the next prayer. Similarly, it is narrated in a Hadith that whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after an obligatory prayer, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except death, meaning he will enter Paradise directly. However, reciting Ayat al-Kursi while placing the hand on the head is not Sunnah, though it is permissible in itself. (Aham Masail / Vol: 9 / Pg: 52)
