Request from my family to take them to festivals that include singing and music; if I refuse, am I undutiful to my mother?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If my family asks me to take them to heritage festivals or others, which include singing and music, am I a sinner and undutiful to my mother if I refuse?

Answer:
If they asked you to take them to the mosques, you would not take them, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Their homes are better for them.
Do not prevent the female servant your women from visiting the mosques of Allah.لاَ تَمْنَعُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهِ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ
Sunan Abi Dawud 566
You do not prevent them, but you do not go with them. Their homes are better for them, so how would you take them to parties and gatherings that contain what is wrong? This is not permissible for you.
