The basic principle regarding musical instruments is that they are forbidden. Some of them are explicitly prohibited, such as the mizmar (flute), rababah (a stringed instrument), drum, oud, and music in general. Some are permissible, like the duff (tambourine). There is a difference of opinion regarding the permissibility of the duff, specifically whether its use is restricted to women and limited to certain occasions like Eids and weddings.
