Poetic exchanges at parties and weddings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the ruling on the poetic exchanges that take place at parties and weddings? Is it permissible to listen to them and attend?
The Shaykh:
No. This is amusement. These poetic exchanges are amusement, because they contain singing voices, and their meanings are not useful. They contain only praise, no criticism, no satire, and nothing useful. They are amusement; they are from amusement, yes, and from singing,
The questioner:
they contain pleasure.
The Shaykh:
Because they depict a pleasing image. Yes.
