Question:
As salamu ‘alaykum please, could I have evidence for the permissibility of reciting naats in the masjid, and using the duff/drums in the masjid?
Jazakallah Khair
Answer:
Alaykum as-Salam,
Go to http://www.sunnah.org/publication/encyclopedia/html/unseen.htm
scroll down to section VII, “QUESTIONS ON THE RECITATION OF NA`AT AND
MADIH (POETRY IN HONOR OF THE PROPHET)”
Regarding singing, use of the daff, and dancing, see: “Dancing for Joy for the Prophet (s)”
and “Fatwas of Ibn Hajar al-Haytami on ‘dancing’ during dhikr”
Hajj Gibril
