When visiting the homes of family members, relatives, friends or others we must never be a burden upon them.
Visiting unannounced, at awkward times, sitting too long, asking too many questions, speaking too loudly, allowing our children to run a mock if they are with us etc is all unethical.
We should also be considerate of those we visit by not allowing them to prepare snacks or meals for us when they are busy, sickly or in a rush to go somewhere.
On the other hand when people visit us although we should honor them, we do not have to prepare sophisticated meals & fries etc all the time. A simple snack or glass of water would also suffice.
Whether more or less, whatever is served must be from the depth of our hearts.
Mufti Ismail Menk
