Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.
Your Eminence, some women dance with singing at celebrations. Is this action permissible or not? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : What I see is that women should be prevented from dancing, because that involves fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). I used to be lenient in this matter, but incidents were reported to me that necessitate my saying that it should be prohibited, prohibiting dancing at parties. Striking the duff (the hand drum) with decent, good, and pure singing is sufficient, because that is from the Sunnah (the Prophet's way). Yes.
