The Ruling on Clapping and Dancing by Women When the Hand Drum Is Played

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for women to clap and dance when the hand drum is played in the context of marriage?

Answer:
Clapping is only for drawing attention to something.
If you notice something when you are prayingإذا نابكم شيء في صلاتكم
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1183Sahih (Darussalam)
The men recite tasbih and the women clap, if the intention is to draw attention to something. The woman does not raise her voice; rather, she claps to draw attention to that. Yes.
