The ruling on attending an invitation at a place where intoxicants are consumed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He should make an excuse; the important point is to appease him. If he has a need for food, he eats; otherwise, he asks for forgiveness. If he is fasting, he informs him that he is fasting.
The Shaykh:
He does not commit a sin. If he prays, he does not commit a sin. Yes.
The questioner:
That you accept this invitation. He said: It is obligatory that you enter separately, not through the room where they are drinking intoxicants.
The Shaykh:
If it is in a place where intoxicants are consumed, no. Because if it is in one section and the drinking is in another, there is no sin on him. One soul does not bear the burden of another. If it is a clean place where they do not have intoxicants, there is no sin on them. If it is a clean place, there is no harm. Yes.
