can you attain an engagement of a close relative though we wouldn't
go to engagements normally. It depends on what's happening in the
engagement. Really, the problem is that sometimes because of some bad
that happens in a particular type of event, all those events become
socially considered to be wrong by certain religious people. Now,
let's just say that your sister is getting fixed up and the other
family is coming for just a decent casual talk, just to discuss,
discuss when it's going to be and so on so forth, to attend that
there's nothing wrong with it. What is wrong is when the
engagement is like a wedding. When Haram is taking place in that
engagement, when the when the the couple who are to be married, the
coming together and maybe putting a ring on each other sitting there
holding hands, when haram takes place, then you avoid those. But
if it's a local family thing in which it's just a straightforward
affair, right, and nobody's making them an excuse to have a party
about, then there's nothing wrong with that. So it just depends
whether it is a haram element to it or not. So I'm not going to say
engagements are haram. Obviously you have to discuss when when to
do the wedding, how to do the wedding, where to do you know and
so on and so forth. So how do you do that? That's the question. So
some people make that to have a mini wedding. Right? Well, that's
what's wrong.
