Regarding Seeking Permission To Enter A House as Mentioned in Hadith

Hadith 1: It is in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Sa’eed Khudri رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Abu Musa Ash’ari رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ came to us. He said, ‘Hazrat Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ had summoned me, so I went to his door (i.e. his house) and conveyed salaam thrice. I did not get any reply, so I returned. Now, Hazrat Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ is asking my reason for not coming; so I said, ‘I came and conveyed Salaam thrice at the door. When I did not get any reply, I returned. Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said to me that when a person requests permission thrice and he does not get an answer, he should go back’. Hazrat Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ said that ‘I should bring a witness (to confirm) that Huzoor صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said this’. Abu Sa’eed Khudri رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ says, ‘I went forth and testified to this’.’

Hadith 2: It is in Sahih Bukhari from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ. He says he ‘entered the house with Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم. Huzoor صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم found some milk in a bowl and said, ‘Abu Hurairah! Go to the Ashaab-us-Suffah and ask them to come here’ (so that they may be given milk to drink). I called them over. They arrived and then requested permission. Huzoor صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم granted them permission and then only did they enter the house.’

Hadith 3: Abu Dawud reported from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘When a person is called (summoned) and he comes with the very person who has called him, then this (calling) is sufficient, as permission for him’. In other words, in such a situation, he has no need to request permission. In another narration it has been mentioned that to send someone to call him is permission by itself. This ruling is only when he comes immediately (on being called). It is deduced from circumstantial evidence, that if the owner of the house is awaiting your arrival and the pardah (curtain) has already been drawn in the house, then in such a situation there is no need to request permission, and if one arrives late, one should seek permission, like the Ashaab-us-Suffah sought permission.

Hadith 4: Tirmizi and Abu Dawud reported from Kuldah bin Hambal رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ. He says, ‘Safwan bin Umay’ya had sent me to Nabi Kareem صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم. I entered (the house) without conveying Salaam and without seeking permission (to do so)’. Huzoor صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘Go out and say اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَیْکُمْ ءَ اَدْخُلُ May I enter? As Salaamu Alaikum’.

Hadith 5: Imam Maalik reported from Ata bin Yasaar. He says that a person enquired from Rasoolullah  صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم ‘Should I even request permission from my mother when I go to her?’ Huzoor-e-Akram صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said ‘Yes’. He (Yasaar) said, ‘I live with her in the very same house’. Huzoor صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘Take her permission before going to her’. He said, ‘I attend to her, in other words I have to go to and fro to her, so what need is there to request permission from her?’ Huzoor صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘Take her permission before you go to her. Would you like this, that you should see her unclothed?’ He said, ‘No!’ He صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘So seek her permission’.

Hadith 6: Baihaqi reported in Sha’bul Imaan from Jaabir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Nabi Kareem صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘Do not give permission to that person who does not make Salaam before requesting permission’.

Hadith 7: Abu Dawud reported from Abdullah ibn Basr رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ. He says that ‘when Nabi صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم went to the door (i.e. home) of any person, He صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم would not stand directly in front of the door, but He صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم used to stand either to the right or to the left of the door, and He صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم would say, اَلسَّلامُ عَلَیْکُمْ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلَیْکُمْ This was because there were no curtains on the doors in those days’.

Hadith 8: Tirmizi reported from Thaubaan رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘It is not Halaal upon any person that he may look into the house of someone without seeking his permission. If he looked inside, then he has actually entered (that house). Do not lead any nation in Imamat (i.e. do not be the leader of any nation) and then only make Dua specifically for yourself and not for them. If he does so, then he has betrayed their trust’.

Hadith 9: Imam Ahmed and Nasa’i have reported from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘For the one who peeps into the house of someone without permission, and they burst his eye, neither is there any Diyat[1] nor any Qisas[2]’.

Hadith 10: Tirmizi reported from Abu Zir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullahصلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘Whosoever moved the curtain and looked into a house before attaining permission, he has committed such an act which is not Halaal for him. If someone were to burst his eye, then there is no charge against him. If a person went to such a door on which there is no curtain and his sight fell upon the lady of the house (unintentionally), then it is not his fault but it is the fault of those in the house’. (i.e. why did they not hang a curtain over the doorway).


[1] Diyat refers to blood money
[2] Qisas in this context refers to vengeance
Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 16)
