The Issue

When Muslims live in non-Muslim countries and mix with non-Muslims people may invite each other to their homes, as often happens between colleagues and neighbours. What is the ruling concerning such exchange of visits?

Ruling

Exchanging visits with non-Muslims is permissible if needed or if it brings about something useful, such as Muslims introducing Islam to them or giving some advice. This is stated in the fatwas of the Permanent Committee for Research and Fatwa and by Shaikh Abd al-Azeez ibn Baz.[1]

Evidence

The Prophet visited his uncle Abu Talib before his death and called on him to believe in Islam. He also visited a young Jewish man and asked him to accept Islamand accepted the invitations of Jews and ate with them, which is mentioned in numerous well known reports.

Calling people to Islam is a noble purpose and inviting them to visit and visiting them at their places are means that may serve this purpose. Means are given the same status as the objectives.
