The answer

We learned from the foregoing that it is the right of the homeowner to first ascertain the identity of the person seeking permission to enter, in order to decide whether or not to grant them entry. Therefore, what some people do by hiding behind a wall or under the stairs deprives the homeowner of the opportunity to identify the person seeking permission, especially if they are looking through the peephole that is now installed in doors. In this case, the person seeking permission should stand facing away from the door, in a manner that allows the homeowner to identify them by sight.
