    I heard there was a difference in opinion in this. I mean the attending of course, not the participating in musical hymns, shirk and whatnot.

    Best to ask a shaykh or student of knowledge.

    ^ I think the fatwa that was posted answers his question. However, he also wanted to know

    Am I forced to go in any way cos he asked me to come or what
    The hadith I posted answers his question very clearly.
