Question:
A man says: You are the group that fasts, and they single out the month of Rajab for fasting. Is it permissible for me to eat with them, or to respond to their invitation, or to sit with them? And is it permissible to maintain ties with them if they are Rafidah, given that this is in the Sunnah?
Answer:
The sons of the innovators who fast in the manner of the men; these are innovators, but their innovation does not reach the level of disbelief. Therefore, it is permissible to eat with them, provided there is advice and forbidding them of their evil, and clarifying the matter. You eat with them and advise them, except for what they slaughter for Rajab. Slaughtering for Rajab is an innovation; do not eat from it. Do not eat from what is slaughtered for an innovation. Do not eat from the sacrifices of Rajab.
