Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: People vary in their hospitality to guests, some going to excess and others falling short, and their circumstances and abilities differ in this regard. We need guidance from Your Eminence on this sunnah (recommended practice)?
Answer:
The sunnah (recommended practice) is for the host to offer what he has available and what is within his means, and not to burden himself with something he cannot afford, so he offers from what he has.
