Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What some people do when a person makes a mistake against them, and they say to him, “You owe me a right,” so he feeds them food. Is that permissible? And is it permissible to eat from this food if he offered it willingly?
Answer:
They compel him. If they compel him, it is not permissible; it is not lawful. But if he offers it willingly, there is no harm in that, provided there is no compulsion.
