As salamu alaikum, Please advise me is it permissible for a muslim revert to attending the baptism of a family member. With the view of keeping family ties (NB: not the church just the after celebrations), also if the wife refuses must she go if ordered by her husband. jazakAllah

(Fatwa: 833/711=B/1429)
Attending one’s religious programme amounts to supporting it, therefore it is unlawful for a Muslim to attend the religious programmes of people professing other beliefs.
