Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are a lot of emotions involved and my wife is requesting that our family attend the wedding of her sister who is marrying a non-Muslim. She was told numerous times that what she is doing is impermissible in the eyes of Allah and will not be accepted but she still is going forth with it. Islamically speaking, what should I do here? Should we attend the wedding because our intentions are sincere or not? What is the direction I should take Islamically?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Firstly, as you stated, it is impermissible for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah (SWA) says in the Qur\u2019an:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026and do not marry your women to polytheistic men until they believe, for a believing slave-man is better than a free polytheist, even though he may look pleasant to you. They invite \u02f9you\u02fa to the Fire while Allah invites \u02f9you\u02fa to Paradise and forgiveness by His grace.\u00a0He makes His revelations clear to the people so perhaps they will be mindful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prophet \ufdfa<\/strong> has encouraged us to accept invitations. It has been narrated from Ibn Umar (RA) that the Messenger of Allah \ufdfa<\/strong> has said: “If anyone of you is invited to a wedding banquet, he must go for it (accept the invitation).”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If an invitation is such that it will involve things which have been prohibited by Allah and His messenger \ufdfa<\/strong>, then the invitation should not be answered (the function should not be attended), to prevent showing agreement with the disobedience of Allah. If the invitee is such that he can remove the disobedience, then he should attend (Fath Al-Bari, Vol 9, Pg 158).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, failing to attend may result in breaking the ties of kinship. Allah has said in the Qur\u2019an: \u201cBut those who break the covenant of All\u0101h after contracting it and sever that which All\u0101h has ordered to be joined [ties of kinship] and spread corruption on earth – for them is the curse, and they will have the worst home\u201d (Qur\u2019an 13:25).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As your actions would not change your sister-in-law\u2019s decision, if she would sever ties due to your non-attendance, you should attend to avoid Allah\u2019s curse on you or her, as this is the lesser of 2 evils (Qawaaid Fiqhiyyah, Pg 32).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In summary, you should first avoid attending the wedding and explain your reasoning. If refusing to attend will result in breaking the ties of kinship, then you should attend for a short while, avoid engaging in any other Haram activities and return home as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n
