Volume 6, Book 60, Number 39:
Narrated Al-Bara:
In the Pre-lslamic Period when the people assumed Ihram, they would enter their houses from the
back. So Allah revealed:–
"And it is not righteousness that you enter houses from the back, but the righteous man is he who
fears Allah, obeys His Orders and keeps away from what He has forbidden. So enter houses through
their doors." (2.189)
