Ruling on attending a wedding ceremony in which there is a female singer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: In some wedding ceremonies, the hosts of the wedding bring in a female singer. Then we are invited to the wedding ceremony. Is it permissible for us to refrain from attending it?
The Shaykh:
The questioner is a man, not a woman. A woman? Yes. It is permissible in a wedding ceremony among women. It is permissible to play the hand drum and sing with their voices, without flutes and without, I mean, instruments, but only with their voices among themselves. And nothing is broadcast to the street or to the men; it is only among themselves. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Do not put a loudspeaker. Yes.
