Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. She asks about the ruling on attending wedding celebrations that are free of musical instruments, except for the beating of the hand drum and the recitation of poems. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that if it is within the circle of women, with the beating of the hand drum and modest poems that contain no indecency and are not in the form of songs and entertainment, but rather poems recited with plain voices among the women accompanied by the beating of the hand drum. This is a recommended practice (sunnah) because it is part of announcing the marriage. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it, so there is nothing wrong with a woman attending it. Yes.
