The ruling on announcing a marriage with singing and musical instruments, and the prescribed manner of announcement

Question:
Umm Ziyad, I say: Is it permissible to announce a marriage using loudspeakers, songs, and musical instruments, or cloth and lead, especially since there is no widespread use of these customs that are known for weddings? And what is the nature of the customs that we must use in this regard? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
Announcing the marriage is obligatory; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it. He said: The announcement of the marriage is done by having witnesses to the contract. If you have two men witness the contract, you have two just men witness it; this is part of announcing the marriage. Also, part of announcing the marriage is holding the wedding feast, the feast of the wedding. This is part of announcing the marriage. Also, part of announcing the marriage is beating the hand drum, where the women beat the hand drum among themselves, and their voices or the sound of the drum do not appear to the men. It is only to be among them, and with singing that contains no sin, no lewdness, no instruments of amusement, and no music. All of this is forbidden. The women only sing with a bare voice, and with a voice that the men do not hear, and it is only within the circle of the women. Yes.
