Question
What should a son do when his parents invite him and his wife for meals? His parents consume SANHA certified chickens, and the son believes that such chickens are haraam.
Answer
The son should not eat their haraam food. He should inform them of the reason why he is abstaining from their food. He should not disrespect them or speak harshly with them, but at the same time he has to inform them that the chickens are diseased, haraam carrion. It is not permissible to obey the haraam wishes of parents.
