The questioner : In this case, is it permissible for a committed Muslim woman, I mean, to attend such a ... .
The Shaykh : No, here is another question, what is your opinion.
The student : This is a second question.
The Shaykh : No, I always advise my wife, even at our daughter's wedding here, I mean, what does that mean? It means a religious and Salafi home, and so on. But I realized that perhaps they might be overcome by their desires, so I told her: We are on the condition that if you see what is wrong, you know it, because she sometimes makes excuses; perhaps something happens that she does not notice, and that is an excuse for her. So I tell her: We give her an excuse if she knows what is wrong, then it is obligatory for you first to forbid it and draw the attention of whoever has the power to change it. If it is changed, that is good and excellent. If it is not changed,[Al-An'am 6:68].
The student : This is how we deal with our women, always, constantly.
The Shaykh : Oh God.
The student : Therefore, in some, but not only in wedding halls, because why did you patch your question, because...
The Shaykh : You do not patch it, just...
The student : Try to patch it.
The Shaykh : No, here is another question, what is your opinion.
The student : This is a second question.

then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.
فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَى مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَThe student : This is how we deal with our women, always, constantly.
The Shaykh : Oh God.
