Quiz 85 – What is the Islamic etiquette when entering a house?

Correct Answer is :

C) Knock and greet before entering

Description:

Islamic etiquette emphasizes respect for privacy and the dignity of others. When entering a house, it is recommended to knock or seek permission before entering, and greet the inhabitants with “Assalamu Alaikum” (peace be upon you).

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me, “Dear son, when you enter your house, say As- Salamu ‘Alaikum to your family, for it will be a blessing both to you and to your family.” [At-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hasan Sahih]. (Riyad as-Salihin 861)

This practice fosters respect, kindness, and peace in interactions.
