Attending Gatherings where sinful acts are being done:
Having been invited to a Walima feast, Abdullah bin Masud رضى الله عنه went to attend it. When he reached there and saw the acts of disobedience and absurdities being committed he instantly turned back. On being asked the reason, he narrated the following saying of the Holy Prophet:
من كثرسوادقوم فھومنھم, ومن رضى عمل قوم كان
شريكاً من عمل به-
“He who increased the number of a people shall be counted from among them. And if a person is pleased with an act of a people he shall be regarded as their partner in that act.
(Reported by Abu Yala (in his Musnad), Nasbur Rayah vol. 4 p.346, Kanzul Ummal vol. 9 p.22 No24735, Jamiul-Masanid wal Sunan vol. 27p.308)
Abdullah Ibn Mubarak mentioned a similar incident of Hazrat Abu Dhar Ghaffari رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ عنه in his book al-Zuhd wal- Riqaq almost in the same words.
These narrations establish it well that taking part in the gatherings assembled for committing sins, bidaat and disbelief amounts to inviting the wrath from Allah. This is a general rule which doubtlessly includes the religious functions and festivities of the disbelieving people.
