It is reported regarding Hadrat Umar (radiallahu anh) that if he heard the sound of a duff he would immediately send somebody to investigate. If it was found to be the occasion of a Walima, he would not do anything. Otherwise he would go for his whip (i.e. he would forcefully stop the playing of the duff) (Fathul Qadeer - Vol. 6, Pg. 389)
Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) said: "Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) prohibited beating of the duff (drum) and the sound of the flute." (Nailul Autaar)
From this Hadith as well as others, the ambiguity about the duff is eliminated. It is clear from several Ahaadith that the general ruling of prohibition applies to even the duff. However, an exception has been made for o�nly the duff for the Days of Eid and marriage occasions provided no haraam acts are committed. This Hadith has the effect of abrogation. It cancels out the other narrations in which the duff was allowed. The fact that Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) and other Sahaabah too propagated the general prohibition of the duff even after the demise of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is sufficient substantiation for the abrogating force of this Hadith as well as other Ahaadith which also mention the prohibition of the duff.

The Hanafi Position Regarding The "Duff"
By Mujlisul Ulama of South Africa
THE HANAFI MATH-HAB
The Hanafi position is crystal clear. All musical instruments including the duff which is used to create music are haraam.
(1) �Verily all musical instruments are haraam (forbidden/prohibited).� (Hidaayah)
(2) �The sound of musical instruments, e.g. playing the flute, etc. is haraam.� (Bazaaziyah and Ad-Durrul Mukhtaar)
(3) �Listening to the beating of the duff, the flute, etc. is haraam.� (Shaami)
(4) �Listening to the beating of the duff, flute, singing, etc. are haraam.� (Sharhun Niqaayah)
(5) �Lahw such as beating the duff and flute, is Makrooh Tahrimi (prohibitively disliked).� (Abu Makaarim)
(6) �Singing, beating the harp, the duff, the sitar and tambourine, are haraam. He who legalizes these instruments will be declared a kaafir (disbeliever).� (Majmuah Fataawa Azeeziyyah)
(7) �Singing, listening to singing, beating the duff and all kinds of musical instruments are haraam. The legalizer of it is a kaafir.� (Fataawa Al-Baihqi)
(8) �Singing, the tambourine, the harp, duff and other similar instruments are haraam.� (An-Nihaayah) (9) �Musical instruments, the tambourine, bugle, duff, etc. are unanimously haraam.� (Ma-la Budda Minhu) (The above references have been extracted from Imdaadul Fataawa, Vol. 2)
ABROGATION OF THE DUFF�S PERMISSIBILITY
It is quite clear from the verdicts of the Mutaqaddimeen (early) Hanafi Fuqaha that the Asal (actual and original) Math-hab of the Ahnaaf is the prohibition of the duff even on marriage occasions. The aforementioned statements from the authoritative kutub of the Ahnaaf, as well as from other Hanafi kutub emphatically prohibit the duff.
The Hanafi argument of the abrogation of the permissibility of the duff is based on the following evidences:
(a) Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) said: �Verily, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) forbade beating of the duff, playing the dhanj and the flute.�
(b) Hadhrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) had branded the duff �the musical instrument of shaitaan�. This was in the presence of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) who maintained silence. He did not criticize Hadhrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) for this comment.
(c) Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said about the lady who was beating the duff, �Shaitaan blew into her nostrils�.
(d) It is not recorded in even any dhaeef Hadith that any Sahaabi had ordered his Nikah to be announced with the duff inspite of their awareness of the Hadith permitting the duff as an instrument to announce a marriage, not for the purpose of music. The Sahaabah were the devotees of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Yet they did not give practical expression to the duff Hadith. (e) Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had married a plurality of wives and he had also arranged the performance of the marriages of his daughters. Not on a single occasion did he instruct that any of his marriages be announced with the duff.
The Hadith of Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhu) clearly announces the abrogation of even the duff for Nikah purposes. In certain kutub of the Ahnaaf, permissibility of the duff is stated. This is an error and in conflict with the Asal Math-hab and Zaahirur Riwaayaat.
Hakimul Ummat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thaanvi (rahmatullah alayh) has presented a wonderful elaboration on this issue in Imdaadul Fataawa, Vol. 2, from page 278 to 286. It will do the Ulama well to carefully study the dalaail presented in substantiation of the prohibition of musical instruments in general, and the duff in particular.
