TAFSIR OF SURAH AN-NUR AYYATH 58 , IBN KATHEER (PAGE 122 TO 123)
O you who believe! Let your legal slaves and slave-girls, and those among you who have not come to the age of puberty ask your permission (before they come to your presence) on three occasions; before Fajr (morning) prayer, and while you put off your clothes for the noonday (rest), and after the 'Ishâ' (late-night) prayer. (These) three times are of privacy for you, other than these times there is no sin on you or on them to move about, attending (helping) you each other. Thus Allâh makes clear the Ayât (the Verses of this Qur'ân, showing proofs for the legal aspects of permission for visits, etc.) to you. And Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (An-Nur 24:58)
Allah command the belivers to ensure that their servents and their children who have not yet reached puberty should seek permission at three times; the first is before the fajr prayer, because people are sleep in their beds at that time.
“and while you puts off clothes during the afternoon.”
Means , at the time of rest, because a man may be in a state of undress with his wife at that time.
and after the 'Ishâ' (late-night) prayer.
Because this is a time for sleep.
If they enter at a time other than these , there is no sin on you if you let them enter, and no sin on them if they see something at a time other than these times.
Abu Dawud recorded that ibn Abbas said: “most of the people do not follow it, the ayah that speaks about asking permission , but I tell my servent women to seek permission to enter.”
Abu dawud said:’Ata also narrated that ibn Abbas commanded this.[Abu Dawud 5: 377]
Ath-Thawri narrated that Musa bin Abi ‘Aishath said,”I asked Ash-Shabi (about the ayah):
ask your permission (before they come to your presence)
He said,”it has not been abrogated.” I said:”but people do not do that.” He said,”may Allah help them. [At-Tabari 19:213]
