    Asalamualaikum!

    I’ve encountered a situation where someone is asking for financial assistance in pursuing classical dance. My personal feeling is that the particular dance in of itself is not immoral for men. However, are there any circumstances in which I should be cautious?

    JazakaAllah

    This is what you have to decide, according to the norms, whether a particular act is immoral or not. In the time of the Prophet, the Ethiopians used to dance to entertain the people, and on one such occasion, the Prophet watched it and invited Hazrat Ayesha to watch it.

    Aisha added, “I was being screened by the Prophet while I was watching the Ethiopians playing in the Mosque. `Umar rebuked them, but the Prophet said, “Leave them, O Bani Arfida! Play. (for) you are safe.” (Bukhari 3530)

      You can try to avoid the temple worship form of classical dance and there’s a side to classical dance which tends to imitate women pls avoid such things

      Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men.

      Sahih Bukhari 5885
