Will it be proper to occasionally eat at the table to please my parents or grandparents?

Question

Will it be proper to occasionally eat at the table to please my parents or grandparents?

Answer

The Sunnah should not be abandoned to please anyone. It is a lesser sin to default on the Sunnah because of nafsaani weakness than to neglect a Sunnah for pleasing someone. To sit at the table for a proper meal to specifically please others, be they parents, is a serious offence. It will be abandoning the Sunnah for the pleasure of people.
