The Ruling on Clapping and Whistling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: What is the ruling on clapping and whistling?

Answer:
And whistling,
And their prayer at the House was not except whistling and handclappingوَمَا كَانَ صَلَاتُهُمْ عِندَ الْبَيْتِ إِلَّا مُكَاءً وَتَصْدِيَةً
[Al-Anfal 8:35]
is whistling and clapping, so this is not permissible. Clapping is for women only.
If you notice something when you are prayingإذا نابكم شيء في صلاتكم
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1183Sahih (Darussalam)
Let the men glorify Allah and let the women clap; clapping is for women, not for men.
