Attending a wedding feast that contains wrongdoings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on attending a wedding feast if there is poetic recitation, filming for some channels, and perhaps the firing of guns?

Answer:
O brothers, the matter of celebrating a wedding has limits and regulations. The intended purpose is merely to announce the marriage and to hold a wedding feast. One holds a wedding feast to announce the marriage and to display joy and happiness, without being extravagant in it. Extravagance is not permissible; extravagance in permissible matters is not permissible, so how can one commit wrongdoings?
How does one commit wrongdoings in these parties? Through singing and through poets insulting one another. Insulting is forbidden because they insult one another and curse one another, or tribes compete in this. This is forbidden; it incites evil among Muslims. There is no need for firing guns; it may cause evil, and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) may occur. Therefore, weapons must be prevented in these parties so that no evil occurs. Yes.
