16. Ensure that there is total segregation between non mahram men and women within the home.
17. Be polite and respectful when speaking, especially to one’s household members.

19. Discuss deeni matters that were heard in a lecture, etc.
20. If one is idle indoors, then engage in some outdoor activity like gardening, etc.
10. When leaving the home, leave with the left foot.
11. Recite the masnoon du‘aa when leaving the home:
بِسْمِ اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلىَ اللهِ لاَ حَولَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ
In the name of Allah Ta‘ala. I place my reliance upon Allah Ta‘ala. There is no power (to do good) nor any ability (to refrain from evil) except with Allah Ta’ala.
5. Keep the home neat and tidy. Do not leave things scattered about.
6. Replace commonly used items to their respective places.
7. When using something that is shared by several people then do not unnecessarily delay in using it, as your prolonging will inconvenience them e.g. the toilet, bathroom, etc.
8. Set aside a time daily for ta’leem, zikr, tilaawat of the Qur’aan etc.
9. If there are pictures of animate objects in the home, you should get rid of them. If the picture is on an object that is being used e.g. on a can, bottle, etc, then you should scratch out the picture.
1. Upon entering the home, make your presence known. There can be one of several situations:
a) Your own private room. For this no permission is required to enter.
b) Another room in the house.
c) A common room where everyone sits e.g. the lounge. For these two, permission is required.
