Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : As for the general cards that people use nowadays, if you know that the host considers that you have a right to attend due to friendship or kinship, then you should attend, because they have specified it. But what is done nowadays merely as a social courtesy, or to inform people that there is a wedding, that does not obligate you.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “And as for the one who is fasting an obligatory fast, he should call for help and leave if he is overcome. And the one who is fasting a voluntary fast may break his fast if he is overcome, but eating is not obligatory, and its permissibility depends on an explicit permission or a clear indication.”
