Women
Dancing Amongst Themselves
Question:
What
is the ruling on a woman dancing amongst women and is there a criterion for
that?
Shaykh
Muqbil ibn Hādī
al-Wādi’ī (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) said:
If it does not
resemble the enemies of Islām and it is within the boundaries of the customs of
the Sharī’ah then there is no harm with that. [However], if it resembles the
enemies of Islām and it is not within the boundaries of the etiquette of the
Sharī’ah then it is not permissible.
I do not know
the [manner of] dancing of modern women in this time so I cannot give a [specific] ruling upon it however this
is the criterion [for its permissibility or impermissibility]. May Allāh bless
you.
