Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a guest says, "Your food is forbidden to me," what is better: that he expiate and eat, or that he leave their food? Or is it obligatory for him to eat and expiate?
Answer:
The obligation is what is obligatory, but the better course is that he eats and expiates so as not to put them in an awkward position. Because if he does not eat their food, and they have labored to honor him, the better course is that he expiates and eats from their food and does not put them in an awkward position. Yes.
