Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. These are many questions; I will start with what was related to the lesson. The questions ask: What is the ruling on tapes in which women are beating the hand drums, and the women who beat the hand drums at weddings ask for a fee of about three thousand, or a little more?
Answer:
It is not permissible to record women’s voices and the sound of the hand drums and circulate them. This is not permissible. It is recommended for women to beat the hand drums on the occasion of a wedding, and to sing with what the Lawgiver has permitted, namely women’s voices alone, without melodic ornamentation, without flattery, and not in the form of the lewd songs that exist now, but rather with an ordinary voice.
The ordinary voice of women, which they sing with in their homes, or this is permitted for the sake of interest, for the sake of announcing the marriage, for the sake of announcing the marriage. This is a dispensation, and a dispensation is restricted to its specific case. Nothing is added to it, nothing is added to it.
It came, and rather it is restricted to what came only. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted for women to beat the hand drum and sing with their usual voices. But if this is recorded or announced through a microphone, this is not permissible. That is to say, the voice of a woman, the voice of a woman is a trial.
So this is not permissible. Yes. And this ends when its time ends. What is recorded and spread after that, and men hear it and people hear it. This ends only when its time ends. Yes. So this is using the dispensation for other than what it was legislated for.
