English:

Question #1172:

Is fencing with sticks in wedding parties permissible? And what is the view if it is carried out to the accompaniment of music?

Answer #1172:

There is no problem in it in itself, should it be a kind of recreational sporting game, and provided no harm would befall the participants. As for the use of musical instruments in a lahwī deviating (from the way of Allah) manner, it is not permissible.
