The questioner : And this person asks: Does the one who prevents his family from attending celebrations, given the situation as you know it, commit a sin?
The Shaykh : The one who prevents his family from attending celebrations that include what is forbidden; in fact, it is obligatory for him to prevent his family, because this is part of care and guardianship. However, the difficulty remains if this celebration is with relatives whom he must attend, and if he attends, they do not obey him to leave what they want. In this case, he has the choice between two options: either he tells them, "I do not attend anything that contains sin, and if you insist on sin, you have no right to expect my attendance," because one of the conditions for attending is that there be no sin in the place that he is unable to remove; or he attends, and it is known that this singing does not happen from the beginning. He attends, people see him, and he has fulfilled the obligation, then he leaves when these forbidden songs begin.
The questioner : And this person asks about the ruling on the mother of the wife veiling herself from her daughter's husband?
