Benefits of the hadith regarding the Abyssinians whom Aisha watched playing on the day of the festival.

The Shaykh : In this hadith, there is evidence for the permissibility of singing by women on the days of the festival, and it appears that this is also the case for men. Since it was customary at that time for only women to sing, if it becomes customary at another time for men to sing, there is no obstacle, because the operative cause is the same. In fact, the operative cause for women singing is stronger, because the trial through them is greater. Therefore, if this type of relaxation is permitted for them on the festivals, let it be the same for men. Likewise, the drums.
