Striking the hand drum in the announcement of the marriage for women and men

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that from the perspective of announcing the marriage, it is struck with the hand drum. He asks: Is this striking for women only, or for women and men?

Answer:
No, not for men. The women strike it only, and its sound is not made audible to the men. It is done in a place where no recorder or loudspeaker is used to broadcast the sound. No, yes.
