The Ruling on the Hand Drum and the Tambourine for Men and Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the duff (hand drum) and what is called the tar (tambourine) permissible?

Answer:
For men? No, it is not permissible, neither the duff nor the tar. The duff is only permissible for women. The tar is not permissible, absolutely, for neither men nor women. What is permitted for women is the duff on the occasion of marriage, among themselves. As for men, neither the duff nor the tar nor the kurr nor anything else is permissible for them. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
