We are living in an era where our culture, our tradition and even our weddings are being influenced by foreign culture. Wedding which has been a simple event in Islamic history has become a burden on the family of the bride and on groom.
A man asked Sheikh Saalih that whether we are allowed to participate and attend such weddings where we know that the Islamic rulings & hukm of Allah will be violated? Such as free mixing of men & women without any segregation, music and dance?
Sheikh said that such gatherings should not be attended except if the person is going there to stop the evil, if he believes his presence will end the evil then he should accept the invitation of such weddings otherwise he is not allowed to be part of such wedding ceremonies.
If you fear that they will break the family ties then it is a sin on them because breaking ties with your relatives is a sin.
