Accepting the invitation


A: The basic ruling is that it is obligatory on a Muslim to accept an invitation from a Muslim, if they are designated to attend by the inviter, unless there is a Shar‘y (Islamic legal) reason to forbid it concerning the host, the guest, or the place where the Walimah is being held, according to the evidence on this. You should not delay the acceptance of an invitation for the abovementioned reasons, unless you ask the host to excuse you and they agree to do so. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
