Entering uninhabited houses

Chapter “Nuur” – (Light) - 24

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

لَّيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَدْخُلُوا۟ بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ فِيهَا مَتَٰعٌ لَّكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُمَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا تَكْتُمُونَ 29  قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا۟ مِنْ أَبْصَٰرِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا۟ فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَٰلِكَ أَزْكَىٰ لَهُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ 30  

29.  (It is) no sin for you to enter uninhabited houses wherein is your goods. And Allah knoweth what ye proclaim and what ye hide. 30a.  Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest.

29.  Laysa  ‘alaykum  junaahun  ‘an  tadkhuluu  buyuutan  gayra  maskuunatin  fiihaa  mataa-‘ul-lakum.  Wallaahu  ya’-lamu  maa  tubduuna  wa  maa  taktu-muun. 30a.  Qul-lil-Mu’-miniina  yaguz-zuu  min  ‘absaarihim  wa  yah-fazuu  furuujahum.

Commentary

It is commanded: The house which is neither in particular possession of any person and nor it has been built for living of any particular individual, and nor there is any restriction for entrance of any person, but it is open for all, in such house you can enter without permission, as any Mosque, an Inn or any Monastery etc. There is no trouble in entering such place. You can reap suitable advantage from it, but bear in mind that neither it should be damaged and nor your intention should be to reap improper advantage from it. Endowed and the things of charity are for use of all people publicly. Either taking their possession or letting the people not to reap advantage from them or trying to cause to profit oneself only – all such matters are disallowed. You can benefit from them only as much as other people can reap advantage.

Remember it! Allaah Almighty knows your apparent deeds as well as your secret intentions. You should never think to deprive of others from the benefits of the thing useful for common people and to reap advantage yourself only.

After that, very useful rules have been described for keeping the society chaste from wicked deeds. At first, Muslim men have been instructed that they should be habituated of keeping their gaze low and control their wishes. Bear in mind that any bashful act is not committed by your private body parts. If you see without thinking any attractive face, then you should change your looking direction immediately and should not see on that side again.
