The Ruling on Men Using the Hand Drum at a Wedding Feast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: Is it permissible for men to use the hand drum at a wedding feast?
Answer:
No, no, it is not permissible to play the hand drum at a wedding feast. This is exclusively for women, exclusively for women. This was not done on the occasion of marriage in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, he only permitted it for women. It was not for the sake of amusement and drumming, but for the sake of announcing the marriage so that people would know that so-and-so has married so-and-so. Yes.
