The ruling on women dancing at a wedding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. What is your opinion on women dancing at a wedding?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with dancing among women, provided there is no exposure of the 'awrah (parts of the body that must be covered) and no evil involved. This is a matter that occurs among women, and the default is permissibility. Nothing is forbidden except by evidence. Women dancing among themselves is a well-known practice among them from ancient times. If her 'awrah is not exposed, and the dancing consists of moving the head and the like, without any exposure of the 'awrah, then there is nothing wrong with it.
