What is the ruling on the hand drum for men and women?

Question : The professor doctor wants an answer regarding occasions.

Answer : By Allah, some scholars say there is nothing wrong with it, and the reason for restricting it to women is that the custom in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was that only women would play the hand drum. If the custom becomes that men play it, there is nothing wrong with it. However, I think it is better not to open the door, because opening the door leads to chaos and may lead to the free mixing of men and women. So it is better to leave it for men, even if we say there is nothing wrong with it. But there are things men do that women do not, such as the hand drum on festival days. In the past, in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), the hand drum was played on festival days for women, but now it has become for men. So I think there is nothing wrong with it, if Allah wills. Yes.
