\n\tWhat is the ruling of accepting invitations other than a Walima<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\r\n Answer:<\/strong><\/pre>\n
\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tSaaiduna Abdullah Ibn Umar \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu narrates that the Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu has said, “The person who is invited amongst you by his brother should accept the invitation whether it is a wedding invitation or anything similar to it.” (Sahih Muslim p.462 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tSaaiduna Jabir Ibn Abdullah \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu narrates that the Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said, “If anyone of you is invited to partake of meals, he should at least accept the invitation. Thereafter he may partake of it if he desires or he may totally abstain from it.” (Sahih Muslim p.462 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn the Hanafi Fiqh, accepting a walima invitation is a Sunnah Muakkadah whereas it is desirable and sunnah to accept other invitations. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tRegarding your situation, it was not necessary for you to accept this invitation, therefore, you would not be considered sinful for failing to attend this invitation and going somewhere else.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
