What is the ruling on repeatedly urging a guest to eat?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on this action and on doing it excessively?
The Shaykh : By Allah, it is not appropriate to do this excessively, without a doubt. First, because it puts the guest in an awkward position. Second, because, according to the majority of scholars, there is an expiation for breaking the oath if one does so. Being kind means honoring your brother with what he loves. You say, "Please, have some," and if he does not accept, that is fine.
