The ruling on distinguishing between guests in hospitality
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Guests stay at my house, and my generosity in honoring them and their status varies. What is the ruling on distinguishing in the honor given to a guest according to his status?
Answer:
This is a mistake. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Place people in their proper stations." Guests are not all on the same level, but the guest has a right in general. So, provide him with what is sufficient for him according to his status. Yes.
