# One is generally forbidden from eating and drinking at a non-Jewish wedding.<ref>Avoda Zara 8a, The gemara explains that the issue of eating and drinking at the wedding of a non-Jew is that one will come to do Avoda Zara. </ref> This prohibition still applies even if one brings their own food.<ref>Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 152:1</ref> | |||
# Some say that eating and drinking at the wedding of a Muslim is allowed.<ref>Yabia Omer Section 10, Yoreh Deah 13, Rav Ovadia argues that since Muslims are not idol worshipers the prohibition of eating and drinking at a non-Jewish wedding does not apply to Muslim weddings. </ref> Others argue that attending the wedding of any non-Jew, even if the non-Jew is a Muslim, is forbidden.<ref>Ben Yisrael Lenachri pg. 398, According to this view, the issue of eating and drinking at the wedding of a non-Jew is that it will lead to intermarriage. Therefore, the prohibition of attending the wedding of a non-Jew applies to the wedding of a muslim as intermarriage is a problem with any non-Jew. </ref> | |||
