He excluded from the houses for which permission must be sought: those that are not inhabited, such as hotels, which are the khan and the rabat, and the shops of the sellers. And the benefit: is the utility, like seeking shelter from heat and cold, providing accommodation for animals and goods, and buying and selling. It is narrated that Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: O Messenger of Allah, indeed Allah, the Exalted, has revealed to you a verse regarding seeking permission, and we differ in our trades, so we stay in these khans; should we not enter them except with permission [[I did not find it]]? So it was revealed. And it is said that the kharabat are places where one relieves oneself. And the benefit: is relieving oneself. And Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal, a warning for those who enter the kharabat and the houses empty of people of suspicion.
