Attending Gatherings of Debauchery: Ruling on Attending Gatherings Involving Slander of Religious Figures or Believers
English:
Question #1420:
What is the ruling in the matter of attending gatherings, where perhaps religious luminaries, the officials of the Islamic Republic, or other believers are being slandered?
Answer #1420:
There is no objection to attending such gatherings per se, i.e., without being afflicted with committing what is ḥarām, such as listening to backbiting, or promoting/condoning any evil deed. However, forbidding evil is a duty that has to be upheld if its conditions are available.
