The questioner : Regarding the statement of our master Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), "Is this a flute in the house of the Messenger of Allah," and then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He meant that the hand drum is permissible on festivals and at weddings. So how did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approve a flute from the flutes of the devils?
The Shaykh : He only approved it; he did not listen to the flute... The general rule, as we told you, is... He placed a condition regarding not listening to the dead, just as he placed a condition regarding the flutes of the devils in inappropriate occasions.
The questioner : Yes, yes, exactly.
Every people have their festival, and this is our festival.
