🖋 Etiquette Of Standing At Door كيف يقوم عند الباب ؟
ʿAbdullāh b. Busr RaḍiAllāhu-ʿAnhu said:
“When Prophet would come to someone’s door seeking permission to enter; he wouldn’t stand facing it, rather he would stand to the right or left of it,
If he was given permission he would enter or else he would walk away.”
● [الأدب المفرد للإمام البخاري ١٠٧٨ ، حسنه الألباني]
The scholars mention that the wisdom behind not facing the door directly is that when it opens up; the gaze of the person seeking permission should not fall upon anything inside the house which is not permissible for him to look at!!
And Allāh knows best.
