Assalamu'laikum.
A few days ago when attending an invitation to a banquet in a resident's house, we were served a feast by the owner of the house which consisted of delicious and inviting appetizing food..
When the food has been prepared, we don't dare to enjoy it directly before being allowed ... this is certainly a must-have for every guest.
As guests attending someone's invitation, we are not allowed to overtake something in the invitation house before being allowed first.
As a guest, we must also have courtesy manners so that we can get greater honor from the homeowner.
If we don't have that and don't even want to pay attention to courtesy in front of homeowners, of course we will experience something we don't expect such as without they respect again for us.
Well, so when the dish has been prepared in front of us, before the homeowner allowed us to enjoy it, it is strongly recommended not to touch it at all.
However, after the homeowner told us, we can enjoy it and even spend it until the food is finished ...hehe.
Thank you.
Wassalam.
