Dream - Entering an empty house, one should still apply the manners taught in Islam. Just as Islam teaches manners when visiting an occupied house. One of these manners is to greet with salam. Perhaps people assume that salam is only for greeting the occupants of a house. So, what about an empty house? Yes, it still has occupants, but they are unseen beings. Therefore, it is important to give salam and recite a prayer when entering an empty house.

Translation: "Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. It means: 'May peace be upon us, the righteous servants of Allah.' In addition, it can also be practiced by reciting the following prayer: 'O Allah, I ask You for the best outcome, and the best way out, in the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon Allah, our Lord, we rely.'"

Meaning: "O Allah, I sincerely ask You for the goodness of entering and the goodness of exiting, by mentioning the name of Allah we enter, and by mentioning the name of Allah we exit, and to Allah our Lord, we place our trust.

One of the manners when entering a house is to say greetings. The same goes when entering an empty house. Here is the greeting that you can say: 'assalamu alaina wa'ala ibadillahish shalihin'. This is taken from a narration, Ibn Umar ra said, "If someone enters a house that is not inhabited, then say 'Assalamu alainaa wa alaa ibadillahish sholihiin' (greetings for ourselves and greetings for the righteous servants of Allah)." (HR. Bukhari)

The first etiquette is to recite the call to prayer. This method is very good and recommended when entering a building that has been abandoned for a long time or has never been inhabited by anyone.

Besides reciting the azan, the next adab is to recite Surah Al-Baqarah. This not only follows the sunnah of the Prophet saw, but also has the ability to expel and protect the house from the presence of satanic disturbances. As the Prophet saw said, "Do not make your house like a grave. Surely, Satan will flee from the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited." (Narrated by Muslim)

The next etiquette when entering a new house for the first time is to increase prayer and read the Quran. This applies not only when entering a new house, but also an empty house. Because in an empty house, it usually becomes a gathering place for supernatural beings.

When entering a new house for the first time, it is advisable to read many verses of the Al-Quran. Such as reading Surah Al-Fatihah, Yasin, and Al-Ikhlas. Do not forget to read Ayatul Kursi as well. For Surah Yasin, try to read it every night. That is, for the first seven days you occupy the house.
