5. Accepting the invitation should not lead one to missing a compulsory act.

6. The invitation must not, in any way, harm the one who has accepted it.
*Some scholars state that there are four things which are compulsory upon the guest.

1st: He should sit wherever he is told to sit.

2nd: One should not stand up except with the permission of the host.

3rd: One should be happy and pleased with whatever he is given.

4th: He should make Du'aa for the host when he leaves.

*Imam Ibn al-Jozi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 'Of the manners one should abide by during a visit is that the guest should not suggest that a certain type of food be served. If he is given the choice between two types of food, he should choose the one that is easier to prepare, unless he knows that the host will happily prepare either for him.
*Fasting should not prevent one from accepting an invitation. The Messenger of Allah () said:

'If one of you is invited, let him accept the invitation. If he is fasting let him continue his fast and if he is not fasting, let him eat.' (Muslim)
*The Prophet () approached Abdullah b. Amr () and he spread a rug for him to sit on, which was filled with leaves, and he sat on the ground.' (Agreed Upon)
*If someone tags along with one who is invited, the guest should seek permission for him as is stated in the hadeeth of Abdullah b. Masood (). There was a man among the Ansar who was known as Abu Shuaib. He had a slave boy who worked as a blacksmith. He said: ‘prepare a meal and invite the Messenger () along with five others.’ The servant called them and a man followed the Messenger of Allah () and he said:

'Although you invited five of us, there is one who followed us. If you wish, you may give him permission, and if not you want, you may prevent him. He said: 'Nay, I give him permission to enter along with you.' (Bukhari)
*One should not go out of proportion when taking care of their guests. Going out of proportion is determined by one's customs and norms of society. The Prophet () said:
