The questioner : A woman asks: Tapes of anthems for women are sold in recording stores, and the hand drum is used in them.
The Shaykh : Questions, questions, tapes.
The questioner : Tapes... for women.
The Shaykh : Read until we see the grammar.
The questioner : And the hand drum is used in them, so is it...
The Shaykh : Repeat, repeat. May Allah reward you with good.

The questioner : Anthems for women, and the hand drum is used in them. Is it permissible for women to listen to these anthems on occasions other than weddings?
The Shaykh : Yes, our brother Adnan, may Allah reward you with good. Two or three years ago, he used to compose melodies a lot, but, what Allah willed, now it is perfect and he has settled down. Regarding the question, I say that anthems containing drums are not permissible, neither in weddings nor in anything else. Those containing the hand drum are permissible on the occasion of a wedding or on the occasion of the arrival of someone of status and honor. For this reason, If there are such occasions, there is nothing wrong with the hand drum, but without an occasion, there is. Yes.

A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I vowed that if you return safely, I would beat the hand drum before you. So he permitted her. He said: Fulfill your vow. So she began to beat the hand drum before the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him).
