The questioner : The ruling on the drum, with evidence?

The Shaykh : The ruling.

The questioner : The drum.

The Shaykh : The drum. The answer lies in what you just heard regarding the discussion of the hadith of Abu Malik al-Ash'ari, which Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his *Sahih* with the wording:
who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful يستحلُّون الحر والحرير والخمر والمعازف
Sahih al-Bukhari 5590
. Musical instruments are all instruments of entertainment, and the drum is among them. However, there is a specific hadith, which is authentic, found in *Musnad Imam Ahmad*, narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Indeed, Allah has forbidden for my community wine, gambling, and the drum. إن الله حرَّمَ على أمَّتي الخمر والميسر والكوبة
. This refers to the drum, as explicitly stated in the text of the hadith regarding this matter.
Please, go ahead.
