That's the limitation of wifi.

You can share your Wifi...
.
Go to Device Settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering > Click on "Mobile Hotspot" text > Configure > Advanced > at the bottom you should see WiFi Sharing, Turn than ON and press Save.
.
Now when you are connected to your Home WiFi and turn your phone's hotspot ON, the other person will need your phone's hotspot password and not your home wifi password. Thus you can share the internet without sharing your home wifi password.

Go for the solution given by mHappiee.

Note that this doesn't work with the devices running on Android 12 or less and on Core versions.
