Family re-unions

Q: Would it be permissible to attend a family re-union? All the family is not into strict pardah but the few that are, will be together. Will it be permissible to attend? I want to go with the intention of strengthening family ties as this is the first time in five years that all the family will be together. But I don't want to go if I will be sinful?

A: Abstain from such a get-together.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
