At home my parents eat from tables while I eat from the floor according to the Sunnah.

Question

At home my parents eat from tables while I eat from the floor according to the Sunnah. This annoys them. They say that I am being disrespectful and disobedient. What should I do?

Answer

In fact your parents are disrespectful and disobedient to Allah Ta'ala for abandoning the Sunnah and for their haraam attitude towards the Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Continue eating in the Sunnat way on the floor. Ignore the criticism of the family.
