🆘 *REVIVE THE SUNNAH OF NABI*
🆘 *ﷺ*
*SUNNATS REGARDING THE UNEXPECTED GUEST*
*S.1.* One should not go to another's house at meal times. It is narrated in one Hadith that Nabi ﷺ has said that it is forbidden to partake of the meals of another without being invited to do so. However, it is permissible and a sunnat to go to the house of one's true friend without an invitation and to partake of meals there.
*S.2.* One may place before an unexpected visitor whatever one has available (by way of food). However, one should not take a loan to obtain provisions for such visitor. (Baihaqí - S.K. - Vol. 1: Pg. 185)
*S.3.* If one does not have excess provisions then it is not necessary to feed the visitor.
*S.4.* Nabi ﷺ has said that it is a major sin to regard that which the host presents as little and mean or for the host himself to feel it low to offer it to his guest. (At-Targhib-S.K. - Vol. 1: Pg. 183)
*ALLAH* عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ said to his *MESSENGER* (pbuh),
قُلْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللّٰهَ فَا تَّبِعُوْنِيْ يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَـكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْ ۗ وَا اللهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
”Say (to *MANKIND*), if you *LOVE* Allah, *FOLLOW* me – *ALLAH* will *LOVE* you and *FORGIVE* your sins.” (Qur’an:3: 31)
Our beloved *NABI* ﷺ says,
One who loves my *SUNNAH* loves me and the person who *LOVES* me, will be with me in *JANNAH.’* *[Tirmidhi]*
