Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to attend the personal occasions of the people of innovation, such as weddings and the like?
Answer:
It is not permissible to attend them except for one who rebukes, for one who rebukes the evil present in them. As for attending them while remaining silent, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Al-An'am 6:68]. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to attend the personal occasions of the people of innovation, such as weddings and the like?
Answer:
It is not permissible to attend them except for one who rebukes, for one who rebukes the evil present in them. As for attending them while remaining silent, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:
And when you see those who engage in [offensive] discourse concerning Our verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation. And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ وَإِمَّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ
