May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on using the hand drum in war, and it may be accompanied by flutes?
Answer:
Flutes, no. But in war, some people find it pleasing because it gathers the soldiers and so on. Allah knows best; I do not see it, and I do not know. Yes. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Anfal 8:45-46] This is what Allah commanded in war; He did not command us to use hand drums. Yes.

Answer:

(45) O you who have believed, when you encounter a company [from the enemy forces], stand firm and remember Allah much that you may be successful. (46) And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا لَقِيتُمْ فِئَةً فَاثْبُتُوا وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُوا
