Respected all,
We are planning to buy a dining table in second hand condition as my husband has a transferrable job (presently staying in Dehradun). We tried to find as many offers from online or other stores, but didn't get too many options in this small city. As it so happens, we finally come across a suitable dining table at a decent price range and in good condition as well. All factors seem to be favourable for this deal, except that the seller is a muslim family. The family appears to be decent, middle class and literate people and the owner also said that they have hardly used this furniture as they are more ussed to dining on the floor or in front of TV.
Our dilemma is more on the lines of family traditions, since our family members perform parisheshanam before the meals, can we go ahead and buy this dining table from the family. Or would this have an adverse effect for our home and family. Its is a big dilemma now for us and we are really not able to decide what to do in this case.
Please guide us with your spiritual & cultural wisdom.
Many, many thanks!
Divya
