Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and do you good. M. Sh. Regarding clapping, she asks: What is the ruling on students clapping inside the classroom to encourage their classmates?
Answer:
Males do not clap; rather, if they like something good, they say Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest). This is what the Sunnah has established: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he liked something or disapproved of something, would say Allahu Akbar to glorify Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Clapping is a characteristic of women. Yes.
