Q
What etiquette should be observed when visiting someone’s home according to Islamic teachings?
A
I of all the people know best this verse of Al-Hijab. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) married Zainab bint Jahsh
she was with him in the house and he prepared a meal and invited the people (to it). They sat down
(after finishing their meal) and started chatting. So the Prophet (ﷺ) went out and then returned several
times while they were still sitting and talking. So Allah revealed the Verse:
‘O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet’s houses until leave is given to you for a meal, (and then)
not (so early as) to wait for its preparation …..ask them from behind a screen.’ (33.53) So the screen
was set up and the people went away.
