Q: While I was in Johannesburg recently we were invited to a "Ghadat". I wanted to attend but my wife refused to, as she comes from a well known family of learned Scholars and they don't attend such gatherings. I, myself, have never yet attended a Ghadat. What is the purpose of such a gathering and is it allowed in the Shariah?
A: There is no basis for this in shari`ah. Muslims should not attend this type of gatherings.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
