Firstly i would like to say that i know celebrating birthdays ordinarily is not permissible but my situation requires me to ask this question.
i am married and both me and my husband follow the deen. But my in-law with whom we live are ignorant of a lot of the deen. My oldest (married) sister in law does not follow the deen at all and she has invited my husbands family to her sons birthday party. As this sister is favourite of all of my husbands siblings, it is unthinkable to my mother and father inlaw for any of us to refuse to go resulting in my sister in law being upset and angry.
i have said to my husband that i dont want to go a celebration that is haram (in and of itself), where there may be music and there may not be any segregation as we do niqab.
My husbands reply was that it may be permissible for us to go as, if we didnt go there would be a Fitnah caused amongst my mother and father in law by my oldest sister in law.
Please advise me as to what i should do in this situation.
Jazakallahu Khair. Was salam
