Q: My question is should I attend the family wedding or not because my husband has a problem with the uncle who’s daughters getting married and my husband is very stubborn and telling me not to go because he wants to hold a grudge not me. It is very close family my aunty (mums sisters daughters wedding) Also because of this reason he tells me and children are not to go to their house either, please advise what should I do? Attend so that I don’t upset my family or not go then I will face many questions why. My aunty and uncle are trying to make peace but my husband just will not listen to anyone as he does not like the uncle and his intentions from the past and because or an argument since 15 years ago. I have to face this all the time and if the uncle and aunty are at other weddings. He tells me not to go their either. Should I still attend other function he tells me not to go even though it’s close family? Please urgent reply.
A: The rest of the family must continue making efforts to make peace and reconciliation and they should make du`aa for him. Perhaps he will come in his own time.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
