Music and Dancing at Weddings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you for your work, O Shaykh. Regarding weddings now, the same groups come with songs by singers. Is there anything wrong with that? Sometimes the songs become romantic and such. Is there anything wrong with that?
The Shaykh:
It is advised that a Muslim not surround the husband and wife, their families, modesty, the husband, and generosity with what he considers permissible, unless it is an invitation to fornication, an invitation to intoxicants, or an invitation to forbidden things. No.
The questioner:
So, what is the ruling on your work regarding dancing? Is there anything in it?
The Shaykh:
If it is among women, it is easy; we do not know of any harm in it.
