The hand drum and celebrations before and after the wedding night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh preferred a person who says: It is customary in wedding ceremonies that the day before the wedding is called the henna day, and they beat the hand drum and invite the relatives,
The Shaykh:
Which day?
The questioner:
Come to me.
The Shaykh:
The henna. Yes.
The questioner:
and they write in it about the hand drums and inviting the relatives and some of the neighbors to that, then on the day of the wedding, the hand drumming took place with the guidance, and this is for the women only, and after a week has passed from the wedding, the bride goes to her family and a celebration is held for her, and the hand drumming takes place with the guidance also for the women, so is there any blame in that or not?
The Shaykh:
The dispensation was only mentioned for the wedding night; the celebration and hand drumming for the women was mentioned for the wedding night. As for what is before it and what is after it, this is an addition that is not permissible, an addition that is not permissible because there is no need for it, and no evidence has come for it. The dispensation was only mentioned for the wedding night only. Yes.
But these people like to entertain themselves and they take the opportunity of the wedding or weddings, they take it as an opportunity to amuse themselves. They legislated this and granted a dispensation in it only for the sake of announcing the marriage, not for the sake of entertainment, for the sake of announcing the marriage. A dispensation was granted in it once, on the wedding night. The purpose was achieved, it is finished, that is all. The dispensation is measured by its extent, and nothing is added to it.
The questioner:
A region where I open the contract.
The Shaykh:
The wedding night, yes. Hmm? Yes. It is not permissible, it is not permissible except for the chaste words, the chaste words that do not contain flattery and do not contain and do not contain melodic singing and embellishment, and it is not accompanied by music, and it is not done with microphones or loudspeakers, but rather it is done with a plain voice that is not heard except by the women present among themselves. Yes.
The questioner:
If she asks him for forgiveness between the contracts.
The Shaykh:
The contract has nothing to do with it; the contract is only this, the wedding night, as an announcement for it, an announcement of the wedding, yes.
