Summary
The Shariah prescribes no specific practice for entering a new house, but it is better to pray that the house and its occupants be blessed. For those seeking protection from evil and Satan, four practices are recommended: reciting Surah al-Baqarah, performing two units of voluntary prayer when leaving and entering the home, saying bismillah with remembrance and supplication when opening and closing the door, and giving salam. Surah al-Baqarah may be recited in stages, such as one third each day, provided this is not treated as obligatory.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
