Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is an invitation to a wedding feast sent through modern means, such as mobile phone messages or email, considered a specific invitation that one is required to accept, or is it like an invitation to the general public?
Answer:
No, it is a specific invitation if he sends you a written message, or calls you on the mobile or the telephone, or writes you a message on the mobile. All of these are a specific invitation. You are designated by the invitation, or he gives you a card. Now they are distributing cards, so if he gives you a card, that is a designation. You are designated by the invitation. Yes.
