Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the cooking is not good or the salt is excessive, is this considered criticizing the food?
Answer:
Yes, do not send the food back, even if it is salty or the cooking is not good. If it is not suitable for you, leave it. Leave it and be silent. Perhaps someone will come who wants it, or a hungry person will eat it. That is one aspect. The other aspect is that this is a blessing, and it is not permissible to send back a blessing. Yes.
