Is it allowed to go on the premises that you don’t want to offend your husband request?”
ANSWER:
Wa Alaykum Salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh
Alhamdulillāh
May Allah accept your Du’ā and make you of His elect Servants amīn.
It is not Permissible for anyone who believes in Allāh and the Last Day to attend any gathering where such practices happen and it is not permissible for a Muslimah definitely to attend such a gathering.
In the scenerio depicted it is not permissible for you also unless if you fear that in your refusal will be a breakage in your marriage. This is of the areas where a husband cannot ask his wife to do what is not sanctioned by the Sharī’ah and she has a duty to correct him and to draw his attention to the danger to which he calls her. This must be duly noted. Women are not to remain docile in their marriage homes and pay silence to all that happens. Rather they are required to make corrections and draw the attention of their husbands to the wrongs they think he overlooks or is unaware of. We ask Allāh for Guidance, amīn.
As stated, it is not Permissible for you to attend such a gathering unless if you fear a break in your home by so doing, and Allāh knows best.
Bārakallāhu Fīkum
Jazakumullāhu Khayran.
4th Shawwal, 1440AH.
