Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a manager or supervisor accepting an invitation from one of his employees?
Answer:
If the invitation is general, such as a wedding invitation, and not a private one, there is no harm in the manager attending. However, if it is a private invitation directed at him specifically, he should not accept it, because there is a possibility that they are trying to win him over to their side. A manager should hold himself above such things, unless it is a general invitation for him and others, in which case there is no harm. Yes.
