Is Dancincing(wajd or raqs) Allowed in Islam or Not
Thare are many view about dancing(wajd or raqs) in Islam .Some people says that dancing is an unlawful,illegal and haram act and there is not any concept of dancing in Islam.This type of concept mostly belongs to extremists sects who are very extreme in their thoughts and views.At the same time some muslims who believes in sufism and pays huge respect to the great saints and Awliya Allah.Those people are not taking dancing as a illegal,unlawful and as a haram act.They says sufi Raqs or dancing are allowed in Islam. They also proven Raqs or Wajd with authentic ahadith's of Holy Prophet (S.A.W). They says that there are a lot of ahadith which reports in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim about dancing.One of them who does not take dancing or Raqs as haram act is Shaykh ul Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri.
In this regard, Dr. Su’ad Salih, professor of Al-Azhar University , states Islam
is a religion of moderation and peace; it does not prevent singing and dancing,
but it forbids anything that stimulates people’s wishes, whether it be
among men or women. Women are supposed to observe good manners if they
dance in front of other women. They should not exceed the limits by
doing anything that stimulates desires and incites evil. There are many
cases where women are tempted by other women.
However,
if a woman dances in front of her husband, then there is no
restriction, as it is a way of cementing relations between spouses – and
this a key pillar of establishing the Muslim family.
Men and women dancing together is absolutely illegal or un lawful (haram)
in all cases, except when a wife dances in front of her husband. The
reason behind this prohibition is that with mixed dancing bodily contact
is close and improper sexual desires are aroused. This has been
strictly forbidden by Islam in an attempt to block the way against evil.
If men and women were permitted to dance together, a lot of haram acts could occur. That is why mixed dancing is not allowed.
