Is it forbidden or permissible to enter a club that is rented out for immodest weddings and Islamic weddings, and that has a DJ and video photography, and what is the ruling on eating from it, knowing that this income is the family's sole source of livelihood?
The celebrations of Muslims sometimes include sins such as the mingling of men and women, women's adornment (tabarruj), the use of musical instruments, disturbing neighbors, and filming parties. These are all forbidden matters. Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen mentioned the prohibition of filming scenes that include women, and dancing, whether by women, men, or mixed, due to the temptation involved. It is not permissible for a Muslim to sell or rent anything that will be used to assist in disobedience to Allah, in accordance with the verse: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression). If the owner knows that the renter will use the place for disobedience, then the rental is forbidden and the money is unlawful. As for eating from the father's money, money that is forbidden to earn is forbidden only for the one who earned it. The son may benefit from it unless his refusal would lead to the father's repentance. A message to the father: This worldly life is fleeting, and you will meet your Lord. This unlawful money leads to continuous sins even after your death. Fear Allah and abandon this forbidden work, for whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better, as stated by Allah Almighty: (And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect).
