Q: Is it allowed to accept an invitation from non-Muslims during their festivals which involves shirk (ganeshotsav) and go and eat with them?
We live in a building with all non-Muslims and they gather at night and perform rituals of festivals, sing songs and listen to songs with music on loudspeakers. One non-Muslim has invited all people of building for food.
A: It is haraam for a believer to be part of a non-Muslim festival. By a believer being present in a gathering where shirk and kufr takes place, there is fear of him losing his imaan. Hence, under no circumstance should a believer attend such a function or have anything to do with it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
