  • Visiting Hindu at home

    I have a question regarding visiting Hindus. The Hindus have a saying which probably comes from one of their books. This saying equates guests with God (we seek refuge with Allah from this saying). So if a muslim knows this and goes to the house of a Hindu, then what is the ruling on him?
