The Ruling on Beating the Hand Drum in Marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, I have a question, if you please, secondly, regarding the beating of the hand drum in marriage: is it permissible or not?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; in fact, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) for women to beat the hand drum in marriage to announce the marriage contract. There is nothing wrong with this for women. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for it, saying:
Announce this marriage and beat the drum for itأعلنوا هذا الزواج واضربوا عليه
with the hand drum. Yes.
