“Wake-up drummers activity is Bidʻah” | HTS issues decision forbidding wake-up drummers activity in Idlib in Ramadan

Idlib Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: SOHR sources have reported that the “Salvation Government” of Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham has issued a decision forbidding the activity of the wake-up drummer, or Ramadan drummer who is supposed to wake up the Muslims during Ramadan by drums and chants after midnight, so that they can have their Suhur meal before Dawn prayer, in Idlib in Ramadan.

 

The Salvation Government’s statement, of which the Syrian Observatory obtained a copy, includes “the Iftaa Council has stated that the activity of the wake-up drummer is a Bidʻah, a term means innovation, novelty, heretical doctrine, heresy, and we demand you cancel earlier assignments in Idlib city and not to offer new assignments”.
