Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks and says: Recently, in some wedding celebrations, it has become common for the newly married woman to walk among the women to the rhythm of chanted songs, which closely resemble music. What is the ruling on this practice?
Answer:
This is not permissible; this is not permissible. What is prescribed in marriage is that the women sing with their ordinary voices, without any music or in the style of contemporary singing, which involves harmonizing and modulating the voices. This is not permissible. It should be with ordinary voices, and there is no harm in using the hand drum with them, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for it and said Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
