Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on listening to songs that do not contain anything forbidden, and if they are without a hand drum?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to listen to songs except for what has been permitted among songs for women on the night of the wedding, the night of the marriage, the wedding, accompanied by beating the hand drum. This has been permitted for the sake of the stronger public benefit, which is announcing the marriage. As for the default ruling regarding songs and hand drums, they are forbidden; this is the default. Nothing is excepted except this matter for the sake of the stronger public benefit, which is announcing the marriage. Everything else, songs are forbidden and it is not permissible to listen to them.
