Attending a wedding feast that contains wrongdoings without the intention of forbidding them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some scholars issue a ruling that it is permissible to go to a wedding feast that contains wrongdoings, even if one does not intend to forbid them, such that one greets the host, accepts the invitation, and leaves immediately. Is this ruling correct?
Answer:
If you leave immediately and advise him against image-making, and then leave immediately, you have done something. However, not accepting the invitation at all is a stronger deterrent for him.
