Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people say that the clapping that is forbidden is only that which is done as an act of worship to Allah. Is their statement correct?
Answer:
It is that which is done as an act of worship to Allah. Is imitating women permissible? No. Imitating women is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that clapping is for women, and He singled them out for it. So whoever claps has imitated them. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the men who imitate women and the women who imitate men. Yes.
