The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to attend wedding celebrations if they contain what is wrong?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible. It is not permissible to attend gatherings that contain what is wrong if you are unable to change it, nor is it permissible to attend gatherings that contain what is wrong. Yes. Even if you are able to change it, attend; and if you are not able, do not attend it,[Al-An'am 6:68]. Yes.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you: Is it obligatory for her guardian or her husband to prevent her from these matters?
The Shaykh:
Yes, he prevents her from attending celebrations that contain what is wrong, and gatherings that contain what is wrong; he prevents her. Yes.
