Fatwa #769010 January 2003United States of America

Can I attend women only functions? Like mehndi, bridal/baby showers? if husband drops off & picks me up?

Answer

Mehndi, bridal/baby showers are all un-Islamic customs. A Muslim is not permitted to attend such un-Islamic functions even if the function is open to ladies exclusively.
