Question:
A person asks our Shaykh: Is it permissible for him to attend events such as weddings, given that they involve free mixing of men and women, image-making, and singing, to say nothing of backbiting? Does this person become overly strict if he does not attend these events?
Answer:
It is not permissible to attend events that contain what is wrong, unless he is able to change the wrong. In that case, he attends. But if he is unable to change the wrong, it is not permissible for him to attend and sit with them, because he would be a partner with them in that. Yes.
