Reading from the author's words with commentary and collation of manuscripts: "The third aspect: that a dispensation was granted for slave girls to play with the hand drum and sing,

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "The third aspect is that a dispensation was granted for slave girls to play with the hand drum and sing, justified by the fact that every people have a festival and this is our festival. This implies that the dispensation is justified by it being the festival of the Muslims and that it does not extend to the festivals of the disbelievers, and that playing is not permitted in the festivals of the disbelievers as it is permitted in the festivals of the Muslims. For if what is done in our festival of that play were permissible in the festivals of the disbelievers as well, he would not have said
For every people have a festival, and this is our festival فإن لكل قوم عيدا وإن هذا عيدنا
Because following the ruling with the description using the letter 'fa' is evidence that it is the operative cause. Thus, the operative cause of the dispensation is that every nation is distinguished by a festival and this is our festival. And this operative cause is specific to the Muslims. If the dispensation were attached to the name 'festival,' the more general term would be independent of the ruling, and the more specific term would have no effect. Since it was justified by the more specific term, it is known that the ruling is not established by the more general description, which is the name 'festival.' Therefore, it is not permissible for us to do in every festival of the people the play that we do in the festival of the Muslims. This is what is required, and this contains an indication of the prohibition of imitating them in play and the like. The fifth aspect from the Sunnah"


The Shaykh : But in the present time, they have come to play with the games specific to the disbelievers, not on days of festival or on days of celebrations that they hold. This kind of statement indicates that one does not play the games specific to the disbelievers. Because if they have a specific game that they play, you do not play it. Yes.
