Is it correct that houses had no doors at the time Rasulullah (s.a.w.s) and Lady Fatima (s.a)?

Explanation

There's a Shubha claiming that during the early time of Islam, houses, including Lady Fatima’s house, didn't have any doors! so the Invasion of the house, burning the door, and slamming the door to her side is just a fabrication.

Answer

The question of whether Lady Fatima's house had a door or not is just a funny question.  because centuries before Rasulullah (s) houses had doors! When narrating the story of Prophet Yussuf and Zuleikha, the noble Quran says that she locked the doors and proposed herself to the godly man. When Prophet Yusuf refused to be with her, they both raced towards the door. (12:23~25).

 In another case, Allah (s.w.t) says you can eat in those houses where you have their keys (24:61) the Ayah clearly indicates that houses at that time had doors otherwise having keys without doors is just nonsense!

 In an interesting hadith, Sahih Muslim, the most authentic book of the Sunnites, quotes Abu Hamid that Rasulullah (s) ordered them to cover the water containers and also close the doors at night.[1]

 Lastly, Shaykh al-Mufid narrates in al-Ikhtisas that when Lady Fatima (s.a) saw the attackers she went and closed the door since she thought, according to Islam, they had no right to enter the house without her permission.[2]

 according to all these pieces of evidence, the houses of Medina including Lady Fatima’s house had doors!
