then the host will appear showy.
As to the departure from the invitation there are three manners to be observed.
First the host must accompany his visitor to the door as it is Sunnah. The
Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “It is from the Sunnah of the visitor
that he should be accompanied to the door of the house.”
Second the visitor should leave while he has a good feeling inside him even if he
felt the hospitality had been lacking, as this is a mark of good character and
humility.
Third the visitor should not leave the house except with the approval of his host,
he should have regard for his hosts during his stay. If he was a guest he should
not stay more than three days as he may be a burden on his host if he stays
longer. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “The hospitality is
three days, anything more than that is charity.” If the host insist on the guest to
stay longer and he feels he is sincere, then he can stay.
