Summary
The view given is that this kind of event culture should not be continued. It is considered to lead to what is forbidden, mixing of men and women, closeness to sinful acts, heedlessness, and the humiliation of others. The response cites the hadith that there is no obedience to any creature in disobeying the Creator, so an order to attend should not be obeyed where it leads to sin.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Saya berpandangan bahawa budaya ini seharusnya tidak diteruskan pengamalannya kerana ia menjurus kepada perbuatan haram, percampuran antara lelaki dan perempuan, mendekatkan diri kepada perbuatan maksiat serta melalaikan dan terdapat unsure penghinaan sesama manusia.
