Surah An Nur Tafseer

لَّيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ

فِيهَا مَتَاعٌ لَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا تَكْتُمُونَ

There is no sin on you that you enter houses uninhabited,

This Ayah is more specific than the one that comes before it, because it states that it is permissible to enter houses where there is nobody, if one has a reason for doing so, such as houses that are prepared for guests -- if he has been given permission once, then this is sufficient.

Ibn Jurayj said,

"Ibn Abbas said:

(Enter not houses other than your own),then this was abrogated and an exception was made, and Allah said:

لَّيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ

فِيهَا مَتَاعٌ لَّكُمْ

There is no sin on you that you enter houses uninhabited, (when) you have any interest in them.

This was also narrated from Ikrimah and Al-Hasan Al-Basri.

وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا تَكْتُمُونَ

And Allah has knowledge of what you reveal and what you conceal
