Advice Regarding the Shaliyyat That Destroy Morals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the shaliyyat that destroy morals have spread. What is your advice to those who run them and to those who frequent them? What is the ruling on going to them, knowing that they contain magic which they call the clown?
Answer:
We know the shadhat in detail, but we advise that the believer should beware of every gathering in which there is... every gathering that is based on songs, entertainment, and sins that do not please Allah must be avoided. Every gathering, whether it is called shadhat or something else, all gatherings that contain what is wrong, or the call to what is wrong, or instruments of entertainment, or forbidden songs, or the neglect of prayers, or the exposure of the private parts, must be avoided. Whether it is called this shadh or something else, we ask Allah.
