What is the way to reconcile the burden of some Sharia rulings, such as differentiating between the drum and the tambourine or some conditions of women's dress, with Allah's saying: "Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship"?

God's law is built upon ease and the removal of hardship, but there may be some rulings of the Sharia (definition) that involve a kind of difficulty for the benefit of His servants in this world and the hereafter. The more a servant adheres to what he is commanded and abstains from what he is forbidden – even if it is difficult for him – the more reward he will receive. God has forbidden evil things due to the harm they contain, and has commanded righteous deeds due to the benefit they contain. Any accompanying hardship, such as Hajj, Jihad, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and seeking knowledge, means that the more a servant endures hardship in obedience to God, the more reward he will attain.

The difference between a drum (tabl) and a tambourine (duff) is clear, and the Sharia does not differentiate between similar things nor does it equate dissimilar things. As for women's clothing, the intention is that it should cover the entire body and not reveal its color or shape. If it meets these conditions and is not an adornment in itself, then it is permissible.
