The Ruling on Using Anthems in Celebrations and Buying Their Tapes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There are tapes for women containing the hand drum (duff) along with anthems, used in celebrations. Do they say, is it possible to use these anthems at any time? Or only in celebrations?
The Shaykh:
I have noticed in celebrations, yes.
The questioner:
These are tapes.
The Shaykh:
That is, it is prescribed to use the anthem and the duff in celebrations for the purpose of announcing the marriage and displaying the marriage.
The questioner:
Now, does the shop owner say, if someone comes to him, does he condition the sale of this tape on the condition that it is played only in celebrations? Does he condition that he gets your work?
The Shaykh:
No, he does not sell it once and then wait; he does not sell it just once, ever. He rests, and they throw away what is left over when they get married, and it comes to them to be used.
