I gave interest money as sadaqah to my relatives. May I accept daawats from them?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

we have some close relatives (wife’s sister) whom we give regularly zakat and also some money acrued from interest in savings bank, knowing well that we should not get any duas/ benfit in this duniya and akhira for such kind of help. my question is can we accept their invitation for any meals in their house.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

To accept an invite is a sunnah of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam and a right of a fellow Muslim. Accepting an invite will not be regarded as a benefit in exchange for a favor rendered.[1] Therefore, it it will be permissible for you attend a meal given by your relatives.[2]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
