Assalaamualaikum Mufti Elias ,
my son’s wedding date has been finalised and both parties have agreed that we will just have one joint reception and split the cost two ways.
However I am now experiencing the problem whereby the brides family do not want to have the separation and instead want mixed gathering as they say that immediately after the reception you will notice that the mixing of the sexes outside the hall and my wife agrees with them.
What advise can Mufti give me to take to my wife and the bride’s family.
