That is what rising butt hinges were designed to do and what doorstops
were designed to prevent.

What? Explain about "doorstops" if you please.

If you don't want a door on rising butt hinges (or almost any door in a
draught) to close itself, you use a doorstop to stop the door from moving.
Doorstops can be a heavy lump of something or a wedge that you put under the
door. Inverted Sinclair Spectrums made good doorstops.
