Ruling on Inviting People to a Wedding Feast in the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a message was received for the program from the listener Salem Sa'id Abd al-Wali, a Yemeni resident in the Kingdom. He asks, if you would be so kind, and says: There is a mosque in our village where people pray, and people from the neighboring villages also gather there to perform the Friday prayer. However, there is a custom the people have adopted, which is: when one of them intends to hold a wedding, he informs the people of it in the mosque after the Friday prayer. Is this permissible?
Answer:
We are not aware of any harm in that. This is not calling out for lost property. This is an invitation to the feast. Something similar occurred during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); some of the Companions sent someone to invite him. He said to those present: "Go to so-and-so, he is inviting you to a feast." And he did not disapprove of that for the one who invited him. Abu Talhah sent Anas on some occasions to invite the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to a feast, and he said to those present:.
The point is: there is no harm in this. If one of those present says, "Please come for dinner," or "for lunch," there is no blame in that.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
