Attending Graduation Ceremonies

Question: 21643

Is participating in graduation ceremonies haraam?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:

If the graduation ceremony included disobedience, it becomes haram to attend or witness.  Some of the common disobedience that takes place in these ceremonies:  Music and the marching of the graduates to it;  Uncovered women and mixing with men;  the graduation dress which is in imitation of disbelievers (such as church dress).  And Allaah knows best.
