Such company can lead one to drinking. However, it is not <em>haram<\/em>  to attend such parties. The only thing that is prohibited is drinking  itself. As for the importance of Friday Congregation our view can be  reached at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.javedghamidi.net\/index.php\/questions\/view\/obligation-of-attending-the-friday-congregation\">http:\/\/al-mawrid.org\/pages\/questions_english_detail.php?qid=40&#038;cid=319&#038;search=friday<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We believe that insurance is not <em>haram.<\/em> Paying interest is also not <em>haram<\/em>.  The Islamic Shari&#8217;ah has prohibited taking interest not being subjected  to pay it. The Qur&#8217;an says that those who pay interest are in fact  subjected to a type of coercion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-02<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6772\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a few questions.
