What is the ruling on using the hand drum and the drum in marriage?

Question : This is a woman asking: What is the ruling on using the drum and the hand drum in weddings?

Answer : Yes. As for using the hand drum, there is nothing wrong with it, because it is what the Sunnah has brought. As for the drum, it is not permissible. The difference between the drum and the hand drum is that the hand drum is on one side, whereas the drum is sealed on both sides. For this reason, its sound is stronger and its resonance is finer and softer. Therefore, classifying it with the hand drum is not correct. In summary, striking the hand drum in marriage is permissible, whereas striking the drum is not permissible. Yes. May Allah bless you.
