Question:
He says: May Allah bless you. I am always invited, and sometimes to some occasions where there is a kind of backbiting and talebearing and other such things, which forced me to withdraw and not respond to the invitation, even if it is from relatives. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
As for invitations that contain what is wrong, if you are able to remove it and forbid it, then it is obligatory for you to respond. But if you are not able to remove what is wrong, then it is not permissible for you to respond to the invitation. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
