What Houses Do Angels Enter?
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
