سورة النور

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Jarrah al-Mada'ini said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a house that has three rooms and no door or barrier — may one enter it without permission? The Imam (peace be upon him) said: "Permission must be sought for entering the rooms; entering the house itself does not require permission."

Ali ibn Ibrahim: Then Allah grants permission and says: لَیْسَ عَلَیْکُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَدْخُلُوا بُیُوتًا غَیْرَ مَسْکُونَةٍ فِیهَا مَتَاعٌ لَّکُمْ [It is no sin in you that you enter uninhabited houses wherein you have your necessaries]. Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said concerning بُیُوتًا غَیْرَ مَسْکُونَةٍ [uninhabited houses]: "What is meant is bathhouses, shops and mills, which you may enter without permission."

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): لَیْسَ عَلَیْکُمْ جُناحٌ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا بُیُوتاً غَیْرَ مَسْکُونَةٍ فیها مَتاعٌ لَکُمْ وَ اللهُ یَعْلَمُ ما تُبْدُونَ وَ ما تَکْتُمُونَ [It is no sin in you that you enter uninhabited houses wherein you have your necessaries; and Allah knows what you do openly and what you hide] — with permission and without permission.
