Islamic event that feel like concerts
Q: Some Islamic Scholars organize large scale events. People here scream and shout Takbeer. Audience is comprised of both genders with separate seating arrangements. Though the purpose of the event is Islamic lectures and motivational talks, the ambience feels like a concert. These have been going viral since recent days.
What is the ruling on such events?
A: Muslims should adhere to the laws of Islam at all times and in all places. Hence, when they are calling this an Islamic event, they should ensure that the ambiance of the event conforms to Islamic values and Islamic ethos. The Islamic teaching is that men and women should not intermingle and the laws of hayaa and hijaab should be upheld at all times.
Generally, these types of events where the laws of Islam are violated produce a negative effect and outcome. Instead of Islam spreading through such events, on account of not upholding the Islamic laws and injunctions, sins and fitnah become rampant in society, and men and women end up committing sins.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
