Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there is something called al-majis, which is a type of Hijazi maqam and verses that are composed without instruments and sung at weddings. Is it permissible to listen to them?

Answer:
By Allah, I do not know what al-majis is, but women are permitted to engage in pure singing, pure singing with the pure voice among themselves, without flutes or anything else, only the duff. The duff is the one that is closed on one side only, not on two sides. It is called al-ghirbal, a round thing that is closed on one side only. Women strike this at weddings and sing with the pure voice only. Yes.
