The questioner:
The woman who vowed to beat the hand drum in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): is this cited as evidence for the permissibility of beating the hand drum for women on every occasion and upon the return of an absent person?
The Shaykh:
Upon the return of an absent person and on the wedding night, the marriage, as an announcement of the nikah, this is permissible, yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is visiting a grave...
The Shaykh:
Note that the hand drum is not the same as the drum or the flute; those are not permissible. Instruments of amusement are not permissible. As for the hand drum, it is not among the instruments of amusement. This is done in times of joy, at weddings to announce the nikah, and upon the return of an absent person. Yes.
