Ruling on responding to an invitation when a person invites more than one
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Which is more preferable: Responding to the invitation of a close relative or a distant one when they conflict?
If two people invite you, respond to the one who invited you first, whether he is a close relative or a distant one; if the invitation is from one person, respond to the one whose door is closest to yours.
But if one of your relatives, such as your brother, your paternal uncle, or your maternal uncle, invites you, and a stranger also invites you, and you fear that if you respond to the stranger there will be a severance between you and your relative, what do you do?In this case, we say: Ask the stranger who invited you for permission, and explain the reason to him,Tell him: saying, for example, "My maternal uncle, or my paternal uncle, or my brother invited me, so I hope you will grant me permission; lest something happen in his heart." And the one who invited you first in such a case should grant you permission to avert the harm involved.
