Is it a reprehensible act for men to perform the 'ardhah and play the hand drum at weddings?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In some wedding celebrations, men perform the 'ardhah and play the hand drum. Is this a reprehensible act that obligates those present to forbid it or leave the celebration?

Answer:
Yes, that is what has been reported. What was reported is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted women specifically to play the hand drum in the presence of women, where its sound is not heard by others but only among themselves. This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted. As for men, there is no report that they play the hand drum at weddings. This is what has been reported. Yes.
