Clapping One's Hands and Whistling Question:
What is the ruling on people whistling and clapping their hands in parties? Answer: This practice appears to be taken from non-Muslims; therefore; it is not an appropriate thing for a Muslim to do. When a Muslim is joyful about something he says 'Allaahu Akbar (Allaah is the greatest)', or 'SubhanAllaah (How perfect Allaah is!)'. Furthermore, it is incorrect to say 'Allaahu Akbar' in unison with a group, as some people do. A person should say this by himself; there is no basis to saying so in unison with others. Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-`Uthaymeen Fatawa Islamiyah, vol.8, p.125, DARUSSALAAM
