Verses 62-64Verse 61

      The aformentioned verses were about the admission or permission of entering the private room of parents in certain time of day and night. Here in this verse, an exception of taking leave to enter some houses has been explained. It says that we are allowed to enter to the houses of a certain group of our near relatives, and even we can take meal with the households there:ِ

      ``There is no fault in the blind, and there is no fault in the lame, and there is no fault in the sick, neither yourselves, that you eat of your own houses, or....''

      Why then the first reference here is to the blind, lame, and sick?

      According to some narrations about the superstitions of the Pagan Era, the blind, and the lame, and some people afflicted with certain diseases were cursed by gods, and no one dared to associate with them, or take meal with them for fear of bad omen! The lame and blind themselves too, refrained from associating others for being shy, and wanting not to bother the healthy people.

      It was also regarded as an ill omen, to take meal in the houses of near relatives.

      Islam enjoined hospitality and gentle fellowship in each other's houses, and in particular enjoined the observation of bonds of relationship.
