Can a Convert Whose Family is Hindu Participate in Their Rituals? 

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

If a person was a Hindu and he accepted Islam but his parents do not know because it will cause problems in the household and he perform the rituals just to satisfy them is he sill in the folds of Islam

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

It is not permitted for a believer to participate in religious rituals that constitute associating partners with Allah or contravention of Divine Command. Allah Most High tells us repeatedly in the Qur’an that He forgives all sins except associating partners with Him.

The convert brother should realize that what he was doing was a mistake, sincerely repent to Allah, be thankful for the gift of faith and the means of approaching spiritual and worldly serenity, and take the effective means of avoiding participating in the rituals. It would be good for him to seek the counsel of local scholars or community members, for both guidance and support.

And Allah alone gives success.
