Unknowingly giving up my time to the theatre hall for a holi and easter celebration
Question
I am a lecturer/ tutor by profession. A lecturer asked to use my lecture theatre time for something. I did not understand or listen to her properly what she wanted to use the lecturer theatre for. Without listening properly I allowed her. Later on, i realised it was for Holi celebration and Easter celebration. Have i committed a sin? What do i do to ask forigiveness from Allah on this? But then again, it was not entirely on me allowing it or no because that lecturer threate is owned by my employer but I was only scheduled to take a class during that time.
Answer
Since you had no knowledge for what purpose the lecturer theatre was going to be used for, you will not be sinful.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
