What is the ruling on Dabke at women-only wedding parties?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · reviewed Sep 2, 2026
Dabke is originally a men's folk dance and does not suit the nature of women. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cursed the masculine women and women who imitate men. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to participate in dabke unless it is done in a way that does not resemble men's dabke in their movements and styles, and it is free from music and musical instruments, and the presence or sight of non-mahram men.
