Question:
What is the ruling on attending wedding parties if one is a close relative, but they contain what is wrong, such as songs, music, and smoking?
Answer:
If there is what is wrong in the parties, and you are able to forbid it and your influence leads the hosts to prevent these wrongs, then you must attend, because this is forbidding what is wrong. But if they do not obey and do not change the wrong, then it is not permissible for you to attend; it is not permissible for you to attend a celebration that contains what is wrong, unless you are able to change these wrongs.
