Is there a Prophetic Hadith concerning a father closing the doors of his children's rooms and his own door when he intends to sleep?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Prophetic recommends, upon the onset of night, gathering children and preventing them from scattering, because at that time, devils spread. After an hour of the night has passed, they can be left. Doors should also be closed while mentioning the name of Allah, for Satan does not open a closed door. These manners are recommended by the general body of scholars, and considered obligatory by the Dhaahiris. It is also necessary to observe the manners of seeking permission between parents and children, and to allocate a separate bedroom for children, closing its door when needed.
