Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In some wedding feasts, there is what is called the 'ardhah. Does this count as an evil that prevents attendance?
Answer:
Yes. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit anything except striking the hand drum for women, according to the majority of the scholars. The hand drum is in the hands of the women, and the women are the ones who sing with their usual voices. As for the men, nothing has been reported regarding this. Yes.
