Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a woman to go to a wedding ceremony where a man is singing for them, even though they do not see him? And what is obligatory in this regard?
Answer:
No, this is wrong and a sin, and it is not permissible. What is permissible or recommended in a wedding ceremony is for the women to sing among themselves with their voices, not with a flute, but with their voices among themselves, solely for the purpose of announcing the marriage. Yes. As for the man, he does not sing for them, even if they do not see him. Yes.
