"Isti’nās" (cordial entrance) is from the fine manners of the Shariah with which Allah has refined the manners of His believing slaves in their life together. It means seeking intimacy and removing forlornness when wishing to enter someone's home. It is not achieved by a mere permission to enter; rather it is achieved by leniency; enquiry; choosing a proper time in addition to whatever removes forlornness and solitude away from the house owner, like making a sound and the like upon entering, so as not to frighten the people therein or see them in a condition that they dislike to be seen by others.
