Taking money for playing the hand drum at wedding parties

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on taking money for playing the hand drums at wedding parties, if it is in accordance with the Islamic Shari'ah?

Answer:
As far as I know, this is evidence for the permissibility of taking [payment], but the provision of the wedding equipment in the marriage is a prescribed recommended practice (sunnah). However, taking compensation for it, or a wage for it, or making this a profession, specifically a profession for a woman, this is not befitting, because it leads her to things that may not complete her obstacles.
