Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man, if he is invited to a gathering, taking someone else with him?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with bringing someone along, especially if he knows that they are in need. Otherwise, they might feel embarrassed if he says, "Come with me to so-and-so." It may put them in an awkward position; they do not like to go without an invitation, and they do not like to disobey him. But if he sees that they are in need, that is good. However, he should also not enter until he asks permission for them, saying, "May I enter, and the one with me?" Yes, that is correct. Yes.
