IS IT PERMISSIBLE FOR MEN TO STRIKE THE 'DUFF' IN
OTHER THAN MARRIAGE?
It is permissible in 'Eid as well only, and
therefore the Messenger (S) censured Aboo Bakr (R) when
he tried to prevent that on the 'Eid.
And the matter is as understood by Aboo Bakr (R) -
that it is forbidden for men or women to strike the
'Duff' at any time just as for other instruments - except
that the 'Eid and Marriage are excepted from that
forbiddance.
And so striking the 'Duff' is something haraam - but
even worse is making that 'Ibaadah (worship) as the
Soofis do.

Habbashshiyyeen, followers of 'al-Habashee' the heretic
