Commentary on Riyadh as-Salihin from the words of the Master of the Messengers, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

وَقَوْلُهُ : «وَمَنْ دَعَاكُمْ، فَأَجِيبُوهُ» (١) مَنْ دَعَاكَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ إِلَى وَلِيمَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ أَوْ : بَيْتِهِ كَثِيرَةٍ فَأَجِبْهُ، لَكِنْ هَذَا مَشْرُوطٌ بِمَا إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ ضَرَرٌ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ ضَرَرٌ فَلَا تُجِبْهُ، أَوْ كَانَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ مِمَّنْ يُهْجَرُ ، فَلَا تُجِبْهُ أَيْضًا، أَوْ كَانَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ فِي مَالِهِ حَرَامٌ، وَرَأَيْتَ أَنَّهُ مِنَ الْمَصْلَحَةِ أَلَّا تُجِيبَهُ؛ لَعَلَّهُ يُقْلِعُ عَنِ الْحَرَامِ، فَلَا تُجِبْهُ.

Regarding his saying, 'Whoever invites you, accept,' if someone invites you to their home for a meal, large or small, you should accept. This is conditional upon you suffering no harm. If attending would cause you harm, do not go. The same applies if the host is someone who ought to be shunned, or if their wealth is illicit and you believe that declining the invitation might encourage them to abandon their unlawful behavior.

أَمَّا فِي وَلِيمَةِ الْعُرْسِ فَقَدْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ : «مَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ» (٢)

As for wedding feasts, the Prophet said, 'Whoever does not accept the invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger' (2).
