What is the ruling on striking with a stick ('qadib') accompanied by other prohibited or disliked acts?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Testimonies
Primary text
Striking with a stick is disliked if it is combined with something forbidden or disliked, such as clapping, singing, or dancing.
Supporting text
If striking with the stick is free from forbidden or disliked accompaniments like clapping, singing, or dancing, it is not disliked. This is because it is neither a musical instrument, nor is it intended for enjoyment, nor is it heard in isolation, unlike other prohibited musical instruments.
