Question
I follow the Sunnah and eat on the floor. However, when I went to an Aalim's house, the food was served on a table and all present sat on chairs at the table. I could not ask them to arrange for me to sit on the ground. What does a person do in such a situation?
Answer
What will you do if in the Aalim's house you are served with liquor or pork? Will you consume it? If not, why? So just as you will refuse the liquor and pork, so too should you refuse to sit at the table. You should not visit the Aalim's house at meal times.
