Is it permissible to ring the doorbell of the house I am visiting more than three times if I think they did not hear it?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Yes, in the present time, some of the doorbells placed outside, meaning on the door, have a weak sound that the person inside cannot hear. Is it permissible for me to ring more than three times, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Your question is not clear. Where are you speaking from?

The questioner : From here, from Amman.

The Shaykh : From Amman? Your voice is muffled; it is not usual.

The questioner : I will repeat it, if Allah wills. The doorbell placed on the door from the outside.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Sometimes it has a weak sound.

The Shaykh: All right.

The questioner : The people inside do not hear it.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : So, is it permissible for me to keep ringing until, meaning, I think in my heart that they have heard it, or something like that?

The Shaykh : And you are sure that they do not hear the sound inside?

The questioner : We did not hear it ring from the outside; it is sometimes weak. The next day, when I ask them, they say they did not hear it, or something like that.

The Shaykh : The method, my brother.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : You ring the bell.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : The first time, and you wait.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Then, after a little while, you ring a second time and wait.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Then, after a little while, you ring and wait.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : If no one answers you after three times, you leave in a good manner.

The questioner : You leave.

The Shaykh : You do not ring one after another.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Claiming that they do not hear it.

The questioner : It is ... in the verse ... it is not like that, O our Shaykh?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Welcome.

The questioner : May Allah reward you.
