What is the ruling on a woman dancing in front of women at wedding celebrations?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You are asking about the ruling on dancing at weddings in front of women only.
The Shaykh : Dancing is disliked, even in front of women. We have been informed of disturbing matters, where some women are agile and quick to sway, causing fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and desire to arise in the hearts of some of the women present. It has even reached me that some of them stand up to this dancer, embrace her, and kiss her, the women themselves. Therefore, we do not see the permissibility of dancing at celebrations, neither at weddings nor at any other occasion.
