Is a man required to bring his family if he is invited to a wedding with his household?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the wedding invitation card says "So-and-so and his family," is it obligatory for the family to attend? And the family is the problem, because nowadays families commit violations when they go out to attend parties. So, do not let a woman attend parties that involve excess.
Answer:
And there are bad morals in them, a departure from the morals and the Shari'ah etiquette. Because the woman, as you know, is weak; she wants to imitate and wants to be like the other women. So what I see in the present time is that wives and women should stay in their homes and not go to these wedding palaces or hotels. Or if the wedding is in a house, for example, and is restricted, there is nothing wrong with it. But as for the state of affairs of people today, it is better for the woman that she does not attend, yes, and that her husband does not allow her to attend, yes.
