Eating doubtful food given by one's parents

Q: I remember hearing in Fazaail Sadaqaat that one can eat doubtful food if ones parents give it so they don't feel bad. Can I practice on this and does not knowing if a certain non certified item's ingredients count as being doubtful?

A: This refers to where you are not sure but you do not have any valid reason to regard the food as haraam. However, if you have some valid reason to regard the food as haraam , then you should refrain from eating such foods.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
