Is it permissible to accept an invitation to attend an 'aqiqah dinner from someone who never prays?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A friend at work invited me to attend an 'aqiqah dinner, and he never prays. Should I accept this invitation?

Answer:
If you intend to advise him and warn him about what he is doing, and you visit him for that purpose, there is nothing wrong with it. But if you just go, eat the meat and rice, and leave, that is not permissible.
