What is the ruling on marriage in which there are song lyrics accompanied by the drum (daf) only, without musical instruments, and is it better for the songs to be Islamic anasheeds?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the wedding is free of forbidden acts and is limited to Islamic anashid (chanting) or songs with permissible lyrics accompanied by the duff (a type of drum), then there is no harm in attending it, especially if it is for relatives or neighbors. However, if it contains forbidden acts or musical instruments and wind instruments, then it is not permissible to attend it.
