Ruling on Attending Weddings That Include Image-Making
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In many weddings, there is image-making. Do we respond to the invitation, or do we disapprove in our hearts and attend?
Answer:
If you know that there is image-making in it, or if it is most likely in your opinion that there is image-making, then if your presence prevents the image-making, attend. It is obligatory for you to attend in order to respond to the invitation and in order to forbid what is wrong. But if you do not have an effect on them and they will continue with the image-making, do not attend. Do not attend what contains what is wrong, and you are unable to remove it. Yes.
