What is the ruling on combining prayers to attend a wedding?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon the noblest of all creation, our master Muhammad, the trustworthy, and upon his family and all his companions.
To proceed:
With reference to your question quoted above, it is not permissible for you to combine prayers in order to attend someone else’s wedding. You may attend part of the wedding celebration, provided that doing so does not interfere with performing the prayers at their prescribed times, and on the condition that the celebration does not involve any sinful acts, such as the mixing of men and women, music, lewd songs, or men entering the women’s wedding hall.
And Allah speaks the truth, and He guides to the right path.
