The ruling on women dancing in front of one another

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question from the women’s section. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on women dancing in front of one another if they are wearing covering clothing?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible except on the occasion of a wedding for the purpose of announcing the marriage. It is permissible for women to dance among themselves, provided it is modest dancing, not the dancing of lewdness and debauchery, and that they sing with their usual voices without flutes or musical instruments, as an announcement of the marriage. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Announce this marriage, and beat the sieve for it.أعلنوا هذا النكاح واضربوا عليه بالغربال
Sunan Ibn Majah 1895Da'if (Darussalam)
meaning the hand drum. Yes.

May Allah reward you
