Is it permissible for a Muslim girl to dance alone in a closed room, and does the ruling differ if the dancing is communal among women, provided it is not lewd?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for a woman to dance in front of other women, provided that no discord arises among them and that no musical instruments are used. There is no difference between her dancing alone or with other women; indeed, dancing alone is more preferable for permissibility.
