Hadith regarding performing two rakaats salaah when entering and leaving one's home
Q: I came across a Hadith below showing that one should perform two rakaat salaah when entering one's home and when leaving one's home. Is the hadith authentic and can one practice upon it?
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“When you intend to leave your house you should offer two rak’ahs of [nafl]. These rak’ahs will protect you from an evil exit [harm] and when you enter your home you should offer two rak’ahs they will safeguard you from harm.”
(Musnad Bazzar, Hadith: 8567)
