The Ruling on Women Dancing Without a Wedding Occasion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on women dancing without an occasion or without a wedding?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible; it is not permissible except for the occasion, for the purpose of announcing the marriage and displaying joy over this matter. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
I do not think that it is reported that women used to dance in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted them to sing poetry and strike the hand drum. Yes. As for their dancing, this requires verification of this matter. Yes.
