Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for men to play the hand drum? And how do we respond to the actions of the Abyssinians and to those who cite them as evidence for the permissibility of men playing the hand drum?
Answer:
The Abyssinians did not play the hand drum, my brother. They played with spears. Spears is the plural of spear, and these are among the tools of jihad. They practiced with the tools of jihad. They did not play the hand drum. How do you distort the matter and say that they played the hand drum? Where did you get the idea that they played the hand drum? Yes.
