"Zaghrouda" (ululation) is a sound that the male (camel) repeats in its throat, then it became an ululation for women at celebrations. The ruling on ululation for women is permissible. As for men, this is not their affair. If they do it, imitating women, it is forbidden, due to what Al-Bukhari narrated from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, "cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men." Otherwise, it is disliked because it is specific to women.
