Striking the hand drum and singing in the days following the day of the festival
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people, in the days following the day of the festival, hold gatherings for women that include striking hand drums and dancing. They say that these are festival days in which it is permissible to strike hand drums, dance, and sing without musical instruments. What is the correctness of this statement?
Answer:
The day of the festival is one day, my brother; it is not days. The day of the festival is one day: the day of 'Id al-Adha and the day of 'Id al-Fitr. It is one day. As for the days of Tashreeq that come after 'Id al-Adha, they are not festival days. They are not called festival days; they are the days of Tashreeq. These people want to revive hand drums, flutes, and songs, calling them festival days. This is lying about the Shari'ah. This action is not permissible, neither for men nor for women. Yes.
