Overfeeding a Relative: A Moral Dilemma

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If I make a close relative food and it is a plateful of food surpassing what they require, will I be sinful if they eat more than their fill? Because I feel that they would rebuke me for giving them less, but I have already explained to them about overeating. What shall I do?

Bismillaah

A: You will not be sinful.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
