Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In our village, it is customary that whoever opens the door of a house, anyone may enter to greet and sit without asking for permission. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
The Shari'ah takes precedence over customs. They must act according to the Shari'ah and not remain with their customs. Asking for permission is required in every place.
