Beating drums duff tamborine.

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

A question about Daff was asked "Are nasheeds with drums (daff) allowed?" and answered "Prophet s.a.w decleared every wine, gambling, beating of the drums and every intoxicant as haraam (Abu Dawud)."

Kindly confirm if the beating of drums is prohibited in Islam.

Jazaka'Allah'Khairan wa ahsan jaza

Answer:

 

Beating drums duff tamborine

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3153        Narrated by Muhammad ibn Hatib al-Jumahi

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The distinction between what is lawful and what is unlawful is the song and the tambourine (daff) at a wedding."

 

Every musical instrument, regardless of whether it be a wind or a string instrument….every musical instrument is declared unlawful by the Messenger of Allah (saws) except the ‘daff’ (tambourine).

 

In light of the above absolutely clear guidance of the Messenger of Allah (saws) the beating of drums as a musical instrument would be deemed absolutely unlawful in Islam.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
