It is obligatory to honor a guest, even if they come uninvited, unless they are bad friends or idle freeloaders. In such cases, the appropriate approach for their situation should be taken. If the husband invites people frequently, he should be spoken to gently, and an agreement should be reached on a method for inviting and reducing the frequency. One should not show annoyance in front of the guests, and it is important to ensure a peaceful atmosphere in the home through kind words and good treatment. Patience is the key to relief.
