What Houses Do Angels Enter?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Seekersguidance.org

Question: Will angels enter my home if I am not wearing hijab at home?

Answer:

Dear questioner,

May Allah bless you and increase you in good.

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “The Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture.” [Bukhari, Muslim]

Imam Nawawi explains, “Those angels that do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture are angels who bring mercy and blessings and forgiveness. As for [those angels that bring] protection, they enter into every house.” [Rawhda al-Talibin]

Therefore, while angels of mercy, blessings, and forgiveness do not enter into the house, the angels of protection do.  There is no sound narration that mentions that angels do not enter a home if a woman is not wearing a hijab.

Wallahu a’lam
