Question
There is a kind of drum which is covered on one side, and the second side is covered apart from a small opening. Is this similar to the daff?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.This is more like the
tabl (a kind of drum which is covered on both sides) and may be worse,
because the sound comes out from this small opening which makes the sound
more refined than if it was all sealed or all open. So it is not permissible
to use this drum in the same manner as the daff is used, because the daff is
not as bad, undoubtedly, whereas this gives a very refined tone and makes it
more entertaining and intoxicating.
