Question

In which no vulgar or sexual language or wording is being used only in front of Muslim females while her body is fully and properly covered . As I have read that our Prophet (P.B.U.H.) permits to sing and enjoy on special occasions like Eid etc. So please clarify that to me . Jazakallahu Khairun

Answer

It is certainly permissible, in fact, desirable to express happiness on happy occasions like Eid, etc. However, the expressions must be within the limits of Shari'ah.

Dancing is a salient custom of the Kuffaar to express happiness. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Whosoever imitates a nation is among them.' Furthermore, in the context of a female, in dancing, the form and shape of the body is revealed which is against the spirit of modesty and shame and Hijaab.
