Clicking fingers, whistling and clapping

dunno

but where are ya? 🙂

sorry couldnt come yaar 😢

u gettin me the game right....? 😉

nothing wrong with it as long as you aint doin it for the wrong reasons ie. attracting the attention of sum1 from the opposite sex....also lil babies love clappin they look soo cute...but why would anyone want to clap/whistle etc out the blue.

if you're happy and you know it clap your hands

razorWhen we whistle or clap we are apparantly calling the shaytaan.

i actually used to believe that lol agesssss back in the younger dayz, but i
dnt knw whether its tru or old folk tales..

whenever people clap in the mosques when there's a kids programme etc u always get somone saying saying in a thick accent

"NO CLAPIN IN DA MQSE"

it makes me laugh

There are better ways to express delight than to clap. Especially in mosques.

clapping is a neutral form of expression devoid of religious expression.

Thus in a place of religion one should use a religiously motivated form of expression. Namely takbeer.

(Now I shall write my commentary of shakespeare as I believe I am using the write linguistic style...)

kids need encouragement

u get some people who are anti clapping and nor do they yell "takbir"

i feel sorry for the kids on the stage when that happens

I also heard something about clapping and whistling etc. I think they were part of the jewish rituals of worship. Anyway I never clap and dislike it immensely. I dont have a religious ruling from any1 but I remember vaguely that clapping and whistling are part of jewish ways.

Infact when they read a certain name in torah, the jews make noise and clap to drown out that persons name. Cant remember whose name it is, but it is their way of disgraceing and debasing and abusing that person. Orthodox jews still practice this act.

clickling fingers, whistling, clapping all done in song and dance as it is believed that shaytan is attracted by music could it mean this

also hadith's say clapping is for women not for men

a point on whistling my non muslim school teacher used to say 'whistling is for witches' i really believed him

clicking fingers - what could be wrong with that?

what does Islam say about winking? 😉

and quote hadiths if u can-not just what people "think or have heard"

As always, its the intention.

AdminAs always, its the intention.

so all is allowed-but it depends on intention yeh?

Peace a word from a Lord Most Merciful.

The sunnah of my Rabb suffices, salaam.

Thats true, and i think for kids the most encouragement known well to them is clapping. i personally dont think there is anythin wrong with clappin...whistlin umm kinda suggests one is gettin carried away...clicking fingers is rude esp. when your tryin to get sum1's attention, i have done it before :oops:

Clapping Outside Prayer

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

I would be grateful if you could tell me the position of the Hanafi Ulema on clapping apart from in Salah e.g. after a speech, in Qawwalis, etc.

Assalamu alaikum,

There is difference of opinion, about the ruling of clapping.

In general, it is permitted and not disliked if for a reason, such as catching someone’s attention or seeking permission to enter someone house, or to accompany singing, or when playing around with children.

Without due reason, some scholars held it disliked, arguing that it is a blameworthy activity (lahw), and resembles the heedless ways of the Days of Ignorance, of which Allah Most High said, “And their worship at the (holy) House is naught but whistling and handclapping.” (Qur’an, 8.35)

Some others held it to be disliked, though others conditioned its being disliked if done in the way the heedless or disbelievers characteristically do it.

As such, it would be best to avoid it. But given that most scholars have not considered it impermissible, it is not something one should normally correct others about, except through good, sincere advice.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
