Using a recorder with a hand drum on the wedding night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the women bring a recorder with a hand drum on the wedding night? Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
No, no, it is not appropriate. And this does not fulfill what the Sunnah requires. It does not fulfill the Sunnah. If you brought, for example, a recorder and left it to call the adhan, would that suffice for the adhan? It does not suffice for the adhan. The Sunnah must be performed live by a person who performs it. A tape does not suffice. Yes.
The questioner:
It is less expensive, Shaykh. Yes, it is less expensive.
The Shaykh:
At least they all leave it all behind. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the wife is pregnant.
The Shaykh:
Regarding the hand drum, it is not appropriate to hire it. There are things that do not require hiring. And the women rejoice with the hand drum and rejoice with playing; they do not need a performance.
