The Ruling on Women Dancing at Celebrations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. You are asking about the ruling on women dancing at celebrations?
Answer:
Dancing at a wedding, and women beating the hand drum among themselves, is a recommended practice (sunnah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it in order to announce the marriage. As for dancing, if it is among women, and it is the kind of dancing that precedes the usual dancing where nothing of a woman’s body is exposed, and it is not the corrupt contemporary dancing, but rather the kind of dancing known among Muslim women, then there is nothing wrong with it on this occasion.
