If they acted upon the Holy Qur’an , this would not be the case. He said (the verse about eating from various homes) indicates that there should be separate homes; mother’s home should be separate from her married so n’s home. Only then will it be possible to actually go to each other’s house to eat. ’ Thus we see that this idea that moving out of parents’ home is some sort of huge sin and indeed there are certain parents who frighten their children in this regard, in f act they emotionally black - mail them into thinking as if they will be hell - bound as soon as they move out of parents’ home. This is a most erroneous thinking.
