Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on going to a wedding feast if there are things that are wrong at this feast, such as singing, for example?
Answer:
If he is able to forbid the evil, he should go; in fact, it may be obligatory for him to do so, as it is a call to Allah and forbidding what is wrong. But if he is only going to eat and not say anything, it is not permissible for him to attend it.
