Question: What is the ruling in the Shariat regarding the accepting of eating invitations? Which kind of invitation is Sunnat? Which one should one not accept and when is one sinful if one does not accept an invitation? Please explain in detail. The Answer: To accept the invitation of a Walima is Sunnat-e-Muakadah as long as there are no sinful actions there such as music etc. There should be no other issues there that are disallowed in the Shariat. To accept an invitation to is to be present there. Whether one eats there or not depends on one’s self. To accept any other general invitation is allowed as long as there is nothing objectionable there and if one does not have something of more importance to do. If someone specifically invites one for such things, then one does have the right to refuse the invitation. The reference to this is Durr Mukhtar |
