The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
Is it permissible to eat at a close family's home if he works for an insurance company and he sells insurance.
Answer
The income derived from the sale of insurance is Haraam. Therefore, avoid eating at his home.
In doing so, you should apply wisdom and diplomacy as the person is a close relative. The good relationship may be used as an opportunity to advise him to change his source of income.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
