Beating the hand drum by men on the days of the festival

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on beating the hand drum for men on the days of the festival?

Answer:
For men? No, this has not been reported. The hand drum is not permissible for them; it was only made permissible for women, specifically among themselves, for the purpose of announcing a marriage. And one does not extend the dispensation beyond its original scope. Yes, so it is not prescribed for men to beat the hand drum or to perform the circle dance. Yes.
