The ruling on what is called (al-Zawarah), which involves beating the hand drum and dancing for women

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. A woman asks, saying that her daughter has gotten married and they held a celebration for her. She wants to hold what is called al-Zawarah a month from now. She says it involves beating the hand drum and dancing for the women. Is beating the hand drum at this time permissible?

Answer:
No. Beating the hand drum is only for the wedding night, to announce the marriage. As for beating the hand drum in al-Zawarah, as they call it, this is not permissible because the occasion for which it was prescribed has passed, which is announcing the marriage on the wedding night.
