Beating the duff in the musjid

· 1 Shaʻban 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I came across this hadith: Aisha (Radiyallahu Anha) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “Proclaim the nikah. Have it done in the masjids. Beat the daffs (tambourine drums without jingling discs or bells) for the occasion.” (Tirmizi vol. 1 pg. 207 Qadeemi) So is it permissible to beat the daff in masjid?

Answer

There was no practice of beating the duff in the musjid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
