Can I invite my non-Muslim family to stay or eat at my Muslim home?

Inviting non-Muslim family to your home to strengthen ties is encouraged, while keeping your home's atmosphere. Serve halal food and treat them warmly as honoured guests. If they stay over, arrange their space respectfully and keep your prayer times and place of worship without anxiety. There is no need to hide your Islamic practice; do it naturally and calmly. Avoid bringing in or allowing what is forbidden, such as alcohol, to keep proper conduct. Good hospitality in your home often leaves a deep impression about Islam. See everyday adab.
