Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It was mentioned in the marginal notes of al-Rawd regarding the author's statement, "It is recommended (sunnah) for women to use the hand drum." The commentator said, "Specifically," and the Shaykh stated that the apparent meaning of the texts of Ahmad and his companions is the tasbih (praise of Allah).
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
The Shaykh stated that the apparent meaning of the texts of Ahmad and his companions is the tasbih (praise of Allah). So what is the meaning of the commentator's statement? Does that mean that Imam Ahmad and his companions hold that the hand drum is permissible for men and women alike?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is a view within the school of thought that striking the hand drum is permissible for men just as it is for women. However, the school's position and the relied-upon view is that it is specific to women. This is the best view, without doubt, because when women strike the hand drum, the intended purpose is achieved.
