Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person is accustomed to observing voluntary fasting and is then invited to a wedding feast, should he accept the invitation and eat, or should he make an excuse based on his fast?
Answer:
He should attend to accept the invitation. If he wishes, he may eat; if he wishes, he may offer a supplication and leave, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. He attends to support his companion and to accept the invitation. If he wishes, he eats; if he wishes, he makes an excuse, offers a supplication, and leaves.
