Question:
Is it permissible to accept the invitation of an innovator if there is a benefit in doing so?
Answer:
What is the benefit? Eating? The innovator is to be boycotted. The innovator is to be boycotted unless he is calling people to Allah and explaining to them the danger of religious innovation (bid'ah), and he went for the sake of the call, not for the sake of eating. This is permissible. But if he goes to sit with him and laugh with him as if he has no religious innovation, this is not permissible. Yes.
