If yes, then may I know the proofs that conclude  such results?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The Shari`ah has not dealt with the issue specifically. Therefore, our conclusion will be based on <em>Ijtih\u0101d<\/em>  considering the principles of the religious guidance in this regard. We  believe that there is nothing wrong in accepting such an invitation and  eating food offered by a non-Muslim. If we close the door for such an  interaction then there remains no chance of propagation of the religion  and dialogue between Muslims and the members of other religions. The  Prophet (sws) has been visiting the people of the other faith and eating  with them without probing into the source of the income of those  individuals. However, the host offers you something that is clearly held  <em>har\u0101m<\/em> by the Shari`ah for example pork etc. you may ask his excuse. We are not allowed to take any <em>har\u0101m<\/em> thing in normal circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-29<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6405\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a non-Muslim living in  full by means of usury business invites me for food in his house, can I  go and eat his food?
