Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding what is called the Najdi 'aradah, if it is accompanied by a drum that is closed on both ends, is it permissible or not?
Answer:
The original 'aradah is permissible if it is without a drum; it is permissible. It is a form of amusement. This is amusement. The 'aradah is not permissible; this is amusement. They only used to do it out of necessity, on the day of battles, to gather the warriors and encourage them. They did it for the need, at that time. But if it is done for the sake of pleasure and for wasting time, that is not permissible, because it is amusement. Yes.
