Sunnahs and manners of guests

Dear Islamic sisters! Let’s listen to some Sunnah and manners of guests:

   *The guest should visit the host keeping in view the latter’s busyness.

   *Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali Azami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: The guests should act upon the 4 things: 1) Should sit where she had been provided the seat. 2) She should be happy with whatever food is served to her (she should not say words like: I eat more tasty food than this at my home; etc.)

   *She should not leave without the permission of the Host. And

   *When she leaves she should supplicate for her (host). (Fatawa e Hindia, vol.5, 344)

   *She should not criticise the food nor praise unnecessarily.

   *The guest should also not ask such questions which exposes one to the risk of lying; e.g. How was our food? Did you like it or not? In this situation, if in spite of not liking the food if the guest praises it she will be sinner. Question of this type should also not be asked: Did you eat to your fill?, as there is a risk of telling lie while answering.
