There is no sin on you that you enter (without taking permission) houses uninhabited (i.e. not possessed by anybody), (when) you have any interest in them. And Allah has knowledge of what you reveal and what you conceal.
(It is) no sin for you to enter uninhabited houses wherein is comfort for you. Allah knoweth what ye proclaim and what ye hide.

You will not be blamed for entering houses where no one lives, and which could provide you with some useful service. God knows everything you do openly and everything you conceal.
ہاں غیر آباد گھروں میں جہاں تمہارا کوئی فائده یا اسباب ہو، جانے میں تم پر کوئی گناه نہیں۔ تم جو کچھ بھی ﻇاہر کرتے ہو اور جو چھپاتے ہو اللہ تعالیٰ سب کچھ جانتا ہے
