Attending gatherings of evil during Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Praise be to Allah. Also, this one says: During the month of Ramadan, I received several invitations from our relatives and some of my female colleagues. Should I accept the invitation? Knowing that these gatherings include listening to and watching musical instruments, and perhaps talking about people’s reputations. Does this detract from the value of fasting?
Answer:
Yes, if the gatherings include evil, it is not permissible for you to attend them unless you are able to remove the evil from them. Also, attending gatherings, even if they do not contain evil, is a waste of the time of Ramadan. What is recommended for the fasting person is to preserve the time of his fasting by the remembrance of Allah, recitation of the Qur'an, and worship, and not to waste it in heedlessness. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you, Honorable Shaykh.
