THE ACCURSED WEDDING HALLS OF IBLEES

Please comment on the following scenarios:

Is it permissible for Muslims to have wedding and conference venues?

Examples: Balmoral Gardens, Houghton Terrace, Islamia College Hall, Lal Qila Palm Continental Banqueting Hall, Rizq Catering and Events, Cathkin Caterers, Barron’s Estate, Country Manor, Roggeland Country House, Ashura Caterers, The Venue Lansdowne, La Elegante Catering, Shaken not stirred Mocktails, Image Lifestyle, Mount Usambara, Fayview Function Venue, Gaia Halaal Events and Marketing, Balmoral Hotel, Opulence Function Venue, Casablanca Seafood and grill and many other venues including hotels, laws, gardens, parks and restaurants which are Muslim owned who openly promote Haraam events.

99% of the events are Haraam. Weddings, beauty competitions, kaafir functions, so-called ‘hijab’ functions, braai parties, fundraisers, ceremonies, Iftaar with the president, baby parties, surprise lingerie parties (muslims), baby showers, bridal showers and much more.

Photos, mixed gatherings and music are the order of the day at all these events. The irony is that many are allegedly “Strictly halaal”. alles is uit ge-halaal…of uitgehaal!!!

Decorated stages, chairs and tables, flowers, waiters, decor, entertainment, red carpet, birthday parties, pool parties, farewell gatherings, outdoor movie nights, womens’ day celebrations, weddings of non-Muslims, haraam advertising, non-alcoholic bars, shisha lounges, dream events, outdoor weddings, prom and matric dances and what not!

Most of these are muslim-owned venues which have Muslim names with contact numbers and indulge in animate photos. They even have Salaah and Wudhu facilities, but also why do Muslims choose such events or such accursed venues?

At some of these functions which Muslims hire out their venues for, there is even dancing. Some even have beer and wine!!!!!

Can such income ever be halaal?

Please explain permissibility or impermissibility also. Is it sinful or not?

ANSWER

Even a moron, provided he/she is a genuine Muslim, knows and understands that all these venues described by you and all the events at these venues and functions are among the worst of haraam activities. But, those who participate in these haraam, mal-oon (accursed) functions at these haraam and mal-oon venues are in reality NOT Muslims, hence they are unable to understand the Ibleesi villainy of their zina, fisq, fujoor and kufr.

Those who indulge so blatantly in the accursed functions at the accursed venues cannot be Muslims. A Muslim who sins, conceals his sins and does not publicly flaunt his evil and sins. The conspicuous sign of kufr of the participants in these mal-oon and mabghoodh functions is the brazen exhibition of sin and vice and believing that their satanism is halaal.

These kinds of mal-oon functions at mal-oon venues are signs of the impending Athaab which will overtake this vile community. Allah Ta’ala grants respite until the arrival of His decree which will utterly obliterate these accursed people. In the Qur’aan Majeed, Allah Ta’ala states:

“When We intend to destroy any town (or city, etc.), We command the opulent ones of the town (i.e. give them free reign to plunge headlong in their fisq, fujoor and kufr). Then they commit fisq (recklessly) in the town. Then Our Decree (of Athaab) becomes justified for them, and We then utterly obliterate them.” (Al-Israa’, Aayat 16)

When the rubbishes – the khanaazeer – have exceeded all bounds of fisq and fujoor, the Athaab of Allah Azza Wa Jal will suddenly overtake them. As we approach Qiyaamah, obscenity and immorality will be on the increase. All of these halls and venues without any exception are accursed venues of Iblees. They are venues of zina. It will be at such accursed venues that people will be disfigured and transformed into swines and apes according to the Hadith of our Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

The La’nat and Ghadab of Allah Azza Wa Jal settles perpetually on the people and on these venues of Iblees. Their opulence and bestial nafs have blinded them. They fail to understand the writing on the wall for them.
