Clarification of what is permissible in women's gatherings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. It seems appropriate, Honorable Shaykh Salih, that you would be kind enough to clarify the things that are permissible in celebrations for women.
Answer:
As for women, there is nothing wrong with them gathering on the occasion of a wedding in a decent, covered place. They gather in a covered place, and there is nothing wrong with them beating the hand drum, and singing with the hand drum, with decent poems that contain no flirtation or incitement to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and it is not accompanied by musical instruments, and it is not with the voice of a singer; there is no harm in that. Rather, this is from the Sunnah (recommended practice), because it is part of announcing the marriage. Also, what is recommended in marriage and its announcement is holding the wedding feast. Holding the wedding feast without extravagance is the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). May Allah send blessings upon our master Muhammad.
And He commanded that in His saying to some of his Companions when he married: "May Allah bless you in it and upon it, and hold a feast, even if it is only a sheep." May Allah send blessings.
And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when he married, would prepare some food and invite his Companions to it. So this is evidence from the Sunnah that the wedding feast in marriage is recommended, and that it is part of announcing the marriage, but without extravagance or waste, as many people do in this time. Yes.
