Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asked about celebrations and festivals, where hand drums, drums, and the like are used. What is the legal criterion for this?
Answer:
The hand drum in the occasion of weddings is exclusively for women. Yes. Women strike the hand drum in their gatherings, and its sound does not go outside the place where the women are gathered. Likewise, they sing with their voices, not with flutes or recorded songs, but only with their voices, and they strike the hand drum for the purpose of announcing the marriage. As for men, they do not strike the hand drum and do not sing; rather, they gather, eat the wedding feast, and then leave. This is what is required. Yes.
