What is prescribed for women to do in celebrations for weddings

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He reward you as well. You are asking Your Eminence about the sound of women at celebrations, specifically the *zaghārid* as they call it.

Answer:
What has come in the Sunnah is that for women on the occasion of a wedding, at the wedding celebration, it is recommended (mustahabb) for them to beat the hand drum and sing what is the custom of the women of the country, provided there is no melodic ornamentation or dragging out of the voice.
Nor should the sound be heard by men, or be amplified by a microphone, or be accompanied by musical instruments, or be in the form of the known popular songs of this time. All of this is prohibited. Rather, the woman sings with a plain voice and with pure poetry that contains no indecency. This is what the Sunnah has come with. As for the *zaghārid*, there is no basis for them. Yes.
