Striking the hand drum at weddings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I heard from one of the students of knowledge that striking the hand drum at weddings is forbidden, and he attributed this statement to Fath al-Bari. Is this statement correct?
The Shaykh:
This is contrary to the Sunnah. Striking the hand drum for women is permissible, indeed it is a recommended practice (sunnah). So it is merely permissible, indeed it is a recommended practice, because it is done to announce the marriage, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it. He said: and that is the hand drum. The one who says that this is forbidden is mistaken. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, she says.
The Shaykh:
He said the drum. Perhaps he said the drum. I do not think that Fath al-Bari, and he is a great scholar and a hadith scholar, perhaps he said that the drum is forbidden, or other instruments of entertainment like musical instruments and flutes are forbidden. Yes, this is forbidden. Yes.
