Question:
Another message received from a woman asking the program: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on listening to the hand drum and sound effects on days other than the two festivals and special occasions? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible to listen to instruments of amusement, musical instruments, hand drums, cymbals, and the like, nor to songs. All of these matters are not permissible because they are from vain amusement that is forbidden. Therefore, it is not permissible for a Muslim to listen to them, nor to occupy his time with them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
