The Ruling on Listening to the Hand Drum and Sound Effects

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner asks about the ruling on listening to the hand drum and sound effects on festivals and occasions?

Answer:
It is not reported that the hand drum is played except on the occasion of a wedding to announce the marriage. The hand drum only, without other instruments of amusement, musical instruments, flutes, and the like, is permissible. This is a recommended practice. Some say it is permissible for the return of an absentee as well, because it is a time of joy and happiness. Yes.
