May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it obligatory for all the people of the village to host a guest who stays with them for one day, or is it obligatory for every able person to host him for a day and a night?
Answer:
The obligatory hospitality is for a day and a night, and the recommended practice (sunnah) is for three days. If the neighbors or the people of the village cooperate in hosting the guest, that is a good thing, is it not? Is that not cooperation in righteousness and piety? Yes.
