Summary
According to the majority of jurists, attending a gathering without an invitation and without the host's permission is prohibited, and bringing an uninvited person along is regarded as improper conduct known as tatafful. An invited guest should seek the host's permission on behalf of anyone accompanying him, since the decision rests with the host. The Shafi'i scholars exempt general invitations and cases where the person has a close and warm relationship with the host. The article also mentions other permitted situations, such as accompanying an invited person who usually does not come alone.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, menurut pandangan majoriti fuqaha, menghadiri majlis tanpa dijemput adalah haram.
