What are the permissible matters in celebrations for women?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, what are the permissible matters in celebrations for women?

Answer:
What is permissible for them is to gather; there is nothing wrong with them gathering, provided they observe modesty from the men and observe modesty from one another, with sufficient covering. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them a dispensation to strike the hand drum to announce the marriage. They strike the hand drum, and there is nothing wrong with them singing with their voices in the usual manner of women, as long as it is not through a loudspeaker or a recording device. That is not permissible.
