Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We are a group of teachers, and a student's parent put us in a very awkward position by inviting us to a dinner party for the administration and the teachers. The question is: Is it permissible to accept his invitation?
Answer:
If it is exclusively for the teachers, then no. We say no; we do not accept this. But if it is a general invitation for the teachers and others, there is no harm in your accepting his invitation. Yes.
