In government schools of the United Kingdom and may be some other countries also, students have to take part in dance classes to the sound of special musical tunes that synchronize the movements of the students while they are dancing. Is it permissible to attend such classes? Is it obligatory on the parents to prevent their children from attending such classes if the young boy or girl is inclined towards attending them?
Answer
It is not permitted, if it has any negative effect —which is quite common— on their religious upbringing. Rather, it is not permitted at all, as a matter of obligatory precaution. Yes, it is obligatory. Also please refer to the answer to question no. 563 below.
