The Ruling on the Use of the Hand Drum by Men

Question:
Or did you read from it that it was said at the end that it is permissible to predict the listening in the century in Gaza? This paragraph, first, the greatness of the things of the Muslims, and second, from the end of the Muslims to their mahram (forbidden relative) is correct? Is his janabah (major ritual impurity) correct?

Answer:
What is correct is that men do not use the hand drum. The hand drum is only used by women on the occasion of marriage for the purpose of announcing the nikah (marriage contract) only, as the dispensation (rukhsah) came from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The default ruling for hand drums and instruments of amusement is that they are forbidden, but the hand drum is excepted on the occasion of marriage for women, and it is restricted to the scope of the dispensation. For this reason, Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah preserve him) said, "None of the Companions used to strike a hand drum or clap their hands," meaning they did not clap and they did not strike hand drums.

May Allah grant you good and a blessing in you.
