What is the decree about attending christening of a child?

The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
It is permissible to attend such ceremonies if they do not include disobedience to Allah and insulting the religion of Islam. For, there is no intention of worshipping there. A person can go to a church and watch their rituals.
This courtesy, which you will show your friend, can make your friend’s heart warm to Islam and Muslims.
To sum up, if it is necessary, you can attend it only as an observer.
