Etiquette of entering a house according to Islam

There are rules of Islam in all aspects of human life. The issue of personal and family matters was not left out. The rule of Islam is to inform before coming home. At least you have to get permission before entering the house — even if you enter your own house. It is a sign of decency, courtesy and politeness. Imam Ahmad (RA) said, ‘When someone enters the house, it is mustahab to convey the message of his arrival by coughing or making noise through his shoes.

Islamic Manners: Entering Or Leaving A House

According to Bukhari and Muslim Hadith: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade any person (from a distant journey) to come to his family at night. Because they are oblivious to his arrival. It seems that the man is looking for their fault. So you should inform or get permission before entering your own house. A man asked the Prophet (peace be upon him), 'Shall I ask permission to enter my mother's?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Yes.' The man said again, 'I live with her in the same room.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, 'Still ask her permission.' The man said again, 'I am her servant.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, 'Even after that, you should enter with permission. Would you like to see her naked? So you should also get permission from your mother. '(Mu'atta Imam Malik) Do not enter anyone's house or room without permission. If permission is not obtained by calling three times in a gentle and moderate manner, you should return; But should not be irrittated. Because maybe the male person is not at home or the householder is engaged in some work at this time. However, if someone is sitting alone in a public meeting or in an open space, you do not need permission to go. If someone asks from inside the house or from inside the room, who are you? Then say your name clearly. Don't just say 'Me'. Enter into the house with the right foot. After giving the right foot,  recite 'Bismillah'.

After reciting Bismillah, recite this and enter:

"Allahumma inni asaluka khairal maulaji oa khairal makhraji bismillahi oalajna oa bismillahi oa alallahi rabbina taoakkalna"

Dua for entering the home

Then greet the householders. Even if there is no one in the house, greet the angels. Every time someone goes home, ask permission and salute, even though it is his mother's house.

There are many benefits to seeking permission to enter someone's home. This does not interfere with the freedom of others. No one's rest is disturbed. Islam forbids unnecessary harm to anyone. Apart from this, as a result of meeting with someone with permission, the candidate himself gets benefit. When an interviewee meets someone politely with permission, the interviewer will also listen carefully to what he or she has to say. If he has any shortcomings, the motivation to fill them will be created in his heart. On the other hand, if a person is approached in an abusive manner without permission, he will try to dismiss him as soon as possible, considering him a sudden danger.
