The answer

If the engaged couple's goal is Allah's pleasure, then they must refer to the Book of Allah and the of His Messenger when disagreements arise, for the reference point of believers is the . Singing accompanied by musical instruments is not permissible. The permissibility of playing the daff (tambourine) is restricted to weddings and 'Eids, and it is not permissible to adopt fatwas that permit musical instruments. Describing the ruling of the Sharia as strict is incorrect, for the Sharia is easy and accessible. Following people's whims corrupts the matter. There are good Islamic anthems available, and proving the beauty of an Islamic wedding is not achieved by committing forbidden acts, but by permissible means that bring joy.
