Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Now, regarding when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came from Makkah to Madinah and greeted the people of Madinah with the song "The Moon Has Risen for Us" and they beat the hand drums, is this correct?

The Shaykh:
As for the second song, the hand drums, it was the women, the young girls, perhaps. This song is well known.

The questioner:
Meaning, it is permissible for women.

The Shaykh:
I did not hear it, nor was it reported to me, and the entry was not reported to me. I found it to be like what happened for al-Jawhari on the day of the festival.

The questioner:
Meaning, it is permissible for a woman, O Shaykh, to beat the hand drum.

The Shaykh:
The young slave girls, what the Prophet did when al-Idris entered, this was during the days of the festival and its like.

The questioner:
It is permissible for the young slave girls only.

The Shaykh:
They found the young people.

The questioner:
And not for the older women.

The Shaykh:
And not for the men.

The presenter:
May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. May Allah reward you for your work, O Shaykh. Peace be upon you. This was a call from the poet Najm Baz, on the evening of Sunday, the eighth of Shawwal, in the year 1416 AH.
