Question
A jalsah was held for a boy who had completed hifz. Ladies were also invited. They were seated upstairs. Was this jalsah permissible?
Answer
Even if there were no women present, then too, the jalsah was not permissible. It was a merrymaking concert of pride, show, and waste. (Takabbur, riya and israaf). On the basis of a false assumption of permissibility, the presence of women, regardless of them being upstairs or downstairs or in Hell's stairs, renders the jalsah impermissible.
