The ruling on responding to invitations to parties that contain what is wrong
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In her final question, she says: Shaykh, it is the right of a Muslim over another Muslim to accept an invitation. So if we are invited to a wedding feast or a party, there may be some forbidden things in this wedding, such as exposing the body, boasting among the women, and wearing tight-fitting clothes. And we are now afflicted, she says, with tapes that are recorded and called a "daftar," but these tapes contain men singing with the same precision and voice as the songs are sung. So we ask you for guidance on this, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
First, Muslims must fear Allah in these parties, and Muslim women must fear Allah, cover themselves, cover their daughters and those over whom they have guardianship, and disapprove of the other women; this is part of forbidding what is wrong,[At-Tawbah 9:71]. So women should fear Allah and disapprove of what is wrong in these parties. If the wrong is going to continue and they do not accept advice, it is not permissible for them to attend, nor to respond to the invitation if there is no wrong. But if there is wrong and they are unable to remove it, he does not respond to the invitation and does not attend. Yes. May Allah reward you with good and bless you.

The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong
وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ
