Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the ruling on clapping and whistling prohibition or dislike?
Answer:
It is forbidden, as long as it is among the characteristics of the disbelievers. It is forbidden, and clapping is even more so, because it is the custom of women, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) designated clapping for women. So whoever claps has imitated the disbelievers and imitated women. Yes, it is the custom of men, not the trait of men. Yes.
