Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on attending a wedding feast if the host is a close relative, but he is one of the people of innovation?
Answer:
If his presence influences him to abandon the innovation, then attend. If he does not abandon his innovation, and his innovation is an apparent and blameworthy one, then do not attend. As for if his innovation is hidden and he does not display it, you are not responsible for what he has concealed from you. Yes.
