What is the ruling on a husband participating in the Arḍah, which is the dancing of men with swords?
Dancing with swords, spears, and other weapons is permissible if it is for an occasion such as an Eid or a wedding and is not taken as a profession, based on what is narrated in the Two Sahihs: that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood for Aisha while she watched the Abyssinians playing and zafan (dancing), and al-zafan is dancing.
