Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the hand drum considered among the forbidden musical instruments?
Answer:
It is among the instruments of amusement. The hand drum is among the instruments of amusement. It is only permissible in specific cases, such as the arrival of an absent person or a wedding occasion, for the purpose of announcing the marriage. It is to be in the hands of women, not in the hands of men; it is in the hands of women. Strike it with the sieve, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
