A Lost Etiquette (A Comprehensive Research into the Rules and Etiquette of seeking permission)

{O you who believe, do not enter houses other than your own until you have asked permission and greeted their occupants; that is better for you, so that you may pay heed.} (an-Noor 24: 27)

A Lost Etiquette is a detailed study of the correct etiquette of seeking permission to enter someone’s house or private room in order to protect people’s privacy, prevent intrusion, and ensure that the home remains a place of tranquillity for the residents. This practice was critical during the time of Prophet Muhammad (bpuh), when there were no curtains or screens. The rules pertaining to invited or uninvited guests and social visits or dinner invitations apply in contemporary times as well. Rules for seeking permission within the house vary for children, close relatives, and married couples, as well as for situations like returning from a journey.
