Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
"The person who is invitedamongst you by his brother should accept the
invitation whether it is a wedding invitation or anything similar to
it." [Muslim]
Hadhrat Jabir ibn Abdullah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that the Holy
Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
"If anyone of you is invitedto partake of meals, he should at least
accept the invitation. Thereafter he may partake of it if he desires
or he may totally abstain from it." [Muslim]
Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that the Holy Prophet
(صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
"If anyone of you is invitedfor meals, he should accept the
invitation. If he is fasting, he should make Duaa (of goodness and
blessing) for the inviter (some maintain that he should set out and
perform salaah at the host's house), and if he is not fastin he should
partake of the meal." [Muslim]
No excuse will be entertained in declining aninvitation. However, if
wine and other intoxicantsare provided at the invitation or food will
be eaten out of gold and silver utensils or there is a fear of any
other evil, one should on no account accept the invitation.
If uninvited people accompany one who is invited, he should firstly
seek the host's consent so that he is not annoyed anddisheartened (by
the arrival of an uninvited guest).
Hadhrat Abu Masood Badri(radiallahu anhu) narrates:A certain person
invited the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم over for meals. Including
the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, food was prepared for 5 people. On the
way to the invitation, a sixth person joined them. When the group
arrived at the door of the host, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
said:
"This person has also joined us. if you wish to, you may permit him or
else he will return."
He (the host) said:
"O Prophet of Allah صلى اللهعليه وسلم, I don't mind him partaking of
the meal." [Muslim]
Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Masood (radiallahu anhu) says that the Holy
Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
"Accept the invitation of he who invites you. Avoid declining a gift
and refrain from annoying the Muslims." [Muslim]
