The Permissibility of Women Beating the Hand Drum at Weddings

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner from Kuwait, Noun 'Ayn, says: We are accustomed to weddings being held, and the wedding is restricted to women, so there are no men present. At the wedding, a woman sings and beats the hand drum and the drum, and there is a brass ring on the hand drum that produces a sound when the hand drum is beaten. Is such a wedding permissible, and is attending it also permissible?

Answer:
Yes, beating the hand drum for women at a wedding is a recommended practice (sunnah), and there is nothing wrong with a singer singing with pure poetry, and also with a voice that is not melodious or broken, but rather an ordinary voice, as the women of the Arabs before and the women of the Companions and the righteous predecessors were accustomed to, not in the manner of the singing women of today, for that is forbidden (haram). There is nothing wrong with beating the hand drum, the customary hand drum that is known, provided it does not have any of the things the questioner mentioned, such as the ring, or things that produce a sound greater than the sound of the hand drum. Yes?
