Commentary
[إسناده حسن] أخرجه البيهقي ٧٧/١٠ من حديث أبي داود به.
The Duff is allowed on certain occasions, like marriage, and other celebrations for women. Wathan and Sanam, are sometimes used interchangeably for all kinds of idols. When there is a difference, a Sanam refers to an image that is worshiped, while a Wathan refers to an idol, like a statue for example.
