Is the mobile phone or doorbell considered a substitute for seeking permission?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is ringing the mobile phone or the doorbell three times considered seeking permission, such that it is not permissible to exceed that number?
Answer:
It takes the place of seeking permission, because they do not hear you if you greet them; they do not hear you. In modern buildings, they do not hear you. So the bell has become necessary now to make them hear, yes.
