Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on striking the hand drum for women other than in the context of marriage or the festival?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible, because the hand drum is a form of amusement. The hand drum is a form of amusement, and amusement is forbidden. No dispensation has been granted for it except for announcing the marriage, by the hands of women, among themselves, on the night of the wedding only. It is restricted to this dispensation, and nothing is added to it. The default ruling for musical instruments is prohibition, and nothing from them is permissible except what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted for a noble purpose, which is announcing the marriage. Yes.
