Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people cite as evidence the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to carry Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) so she could watch the sons of the Abyssinians dancing in the mosque.
Answer:
This was dancing on a day of festival. It was dancing on a day of festival, not singing. The Abyssinians did not sing; rather, this was dancing on a day of festival to express joy and happiness for the day of the festival. Yes.
