The ruling on announcing a wedding event in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: At some of our wedding parties, especially during the summer vacation, after the imam says the closing salam of the Friday prayer, the host of the wedding says this text: “O Shaykh, we have a wedding, brothers. Next week, we ask you to attend.” What is the ruling on this phrase?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with announcing a wedding event in the mosque and asking them to attend. This is a general invitation, and it is not obligatory to respond to everyone, because it is a general invitation. However, if a specific person is singled out, it is obligatory for him to respond, provided he is able to do so.
