On this occasion, it is not Sunnah to say ‘Madinah’, ‘it is me’, ‘open the door’, etc. instead of saying the name.

 ٭Stand to a side of the door after telling your name in reply so when the door opens, your gaze does not fall inside the home straightaway.

 ٭It is prohibited to peep into someone’s home. In front of some people’s homes, there are sometimes homes of other people at a lower level. Therefore, one must be cautious while looking out from the balcony etc., to ensure that his gaze does not fall in their homes.

 ٭Upon visiting someone’s home, do not criticize the arrangements of their home unnecessarily. It may hurt their feelings.

 ٭Upon leaving, make Du’a for the members of the household, show your gratitude towards them, say Salam, and if possible, give any Sunnah-inspiring booklet etc. as a gift.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
