The 'Aradat and Drums at Wedding and Festival Celebrations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on what is called the 'Aradat, which takes place at wedding celebrations and on festival days or at public gatherings, accompanied by drums? Is it part of the forbidden singing?
Answer:
O my brothers, none of this is permissible. It is all part of the forbidden amusement, except for women on the night of the wedding, for the purpose of announcing the marriage among themselves, provided they do not sing into a microphone and their voices are not recorded. They only sing among themselves, with the voice of one of them, to announce the marriage, and they strike the hand drum to announce the marriage. As for the men, they do not perform the 'Aradat at weddings, nor do they sing. They simply sit, eat the food, and walk around.
