If you stay as a guest with someone and they do not provide for your hospitality, do you have the right to take from their wealth?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you stay as a guest with someone and they do not provide you with hospitality, you have the right to take from their wealth only to the extent of your hospitality, without any excess.
The Shaykh : You take from them a loaf of bread and what accompanies it, or something similar. This is necessary.
Another questioner : Like if one of them died, a loaf of bread?
The Shaykh : Huh? How?
Another questioner : He has the sacrificial animal and the daughter.
The Shaykh : The important thing, in any case, is that the one who does not provide bread takes two loaves; the loaves might be small. Yes, that is correct.
Another questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It was not for a day and a night.
Another questioner : For the guest's need, or?
The Shaykh : No, no, the need is not a condition. Hospitality is obligatory for a day and a night, except that the jurists stipulated that this applies in villages, not in large cities. They said this because large cities have restaurants, and one can go to a restaurant.
