Leaving
a wedding if munkar (evil) actions start
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Is it obligatory to leave a wedding if [such] (evil) actions
start, and that is after having advised and made clear the
issue to them? Often, the wedding could be that of a relative
and if one who understood this to be an evil act was to leave,
then he would be regarded as one who breaks off (family) ties.
With this, advise us with a written fatwa
since they (the relatives) are requesting this, and may Allaah
protect and preserve you.
Response:
If you saw/witnessed any munkar (evil act) whilst in attendance,
then advise them. And as a result, they should become upright
and leave the evil act. Otherwise it is obligatory for you
to leave the place and you should not be concerned with whoever
becomes angry (as a result) because of that, since obedience
to Allaah and His Messenger is uppermost. And if it is possible
for any of you to explain this to those who became angry (at
your departure).
