The questioner : A man has a large piece of land, and one of the people suggested to him that he build a wedding hall on it, but he feared that this hall might be used for some forbidden things like forbidden singing and the like. So, do you think he should build this hall or not, O honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : What I see is that if this man is able to build a hall where he prevents what is forbidden, such as singing, playing musical instruments, and other things that some people do on wedding nights, then he should build a hall on this land, because of the good in that and the prevention of evil. However, if he is not able to do that, and he will leave the hall open so that people do whatever they want in it, then he should not build this hall. And I say to him: If he builds it with the initial intention that he will prevent the wrongdoings in it, then let him be glad of the good, and let him know that Allah will prepare for him people who will rush to him to hold their wedding celebrations in it, because the people of good are many, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, yes.
The Shaykh : So if he builds it for this purpose and people know that, then they will rush to him. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. Ahmad Sa'd Salih from Yemen says.
