Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is the interpretation of the verse?[Al-Furqan 25:72], what is the meaning of false witness? And is attending singing parties at weddings and other such gatherings included in bearing false witness? And may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
False witness is falsehood. False witness is falsehood and the fabricated, polished thing whose appearance is good but whose reality is evil. This is false witness from fabrication. You know fabrication. You know false testimony.
His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Furqan 25:72] means they do not attend the festivals of the disbelievers. False witness means, from false witness, the festivals of the disbelievers. So the people of faith do not attend them. They stay away from all the festivals of the disbelievers.
And false witness includes the festivals of the disbelievers and others, but the festivals of the disbelievers are among the false witness, and the Muslim leaves false witness, he leaves fabrication and singing and musical instruments, which are also from false witness, the Muslim does not love them and does not attend them. Because it is amusement and play and falsehood, so it is from false witness, yes.
