Question
Recently I attended a jalsah at a certain darul uloom. Since I was early, I decided to attend a program that was taking place in the basement of the masjid. This program was dedicated for the old students and graduates of the madrasa. At the entrance of the door there was a brother seated with a register. He told me that it is not 'munaasib' for me to attend the program. I thus went away. Alhamdulillah I am an Alim also. Please comment. Was this proper?
Answer
The jalsahs of nowadays are wasteful, full of pride and show. There is no goodness in these merrymaking functions of bid'ah. The fact that you were not allowed to participate in the program should indicate to you the takabbur and riya. Can you imagine Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) turning any person away from any of his bayaans or gatherings?
And, why was it not 'munaasib' (suitable)? Were they indulging in haraam and futility? Yes, they were, hence they regarded you as an outsider to be kept away lest you expose their shenanigans.
