The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In some celebrations, there is a gathering of young men who carry swords and dance with them, accompanied by shilat, which are poems, along with hand drums and rhythms.
The Shaykh:
What is the ruling on this?
The questioner:
He says: In some celebrations.
The Shaykh:
The men of the Hisbah (religious police) report on them, and the authority is informed about them. They do not allow them to perform this act at a wedding or other occasion, as they spread sins and what is wrong within the community. Yes.
