Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We would like a word from your eminence about celebrations and the errors that occur in them, including taking women to what is called the kufiyyat?
Answer:
There is no doubt that people have introduced things that contain much evil. Celebrations of this nature, where people gather and wrongs occur, where there is extravagance and waste, where there is staying up late at night, where there is amusement and play, where there is image-making, and where there is free mixing of men and women, are all harms and wrongs. It is obligatory for the authorities, the guardians of the households, and those in charge of women and children to avoid these celebrations that contain wrongs. As for celebrations that are free from wrongs, limited to attending and eating food, with no staying up late, there is nothing wrong with them. Yes.
