بَاب جَوَازِ الضَّرْبِ بِالدُّفْ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ وَنَحْوِهِمَاChapter on the Permissibility of Beating the Duff on the Two Eids and the Like
Hadith 7876
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ تَضْرِبَانِ بِدُفَّيْنِ فَانْتَهَرَهُمَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعْهُنَّ فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ عِيدًا
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me and two slave girls with me were beating the drum. He scolded them, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Leave them, indeed every nation has a festival (on which they rejoice).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is established that young girls may beat the duff (small drum) and recite permissible speech, whether in verse or prose. We too should adopt this manner of expressing joy on occasions of marriage and Eid, rather than engaging in false customs that involve immodesty and lack of veiling.
