3312. It was narrated from ‘Amr bin Shu‘aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that a woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allāh, I vowed to play the Duff before you. He said: “Fulfill your vow.” She said: “I vowed to offer a sacrifice in such and such a place” – a place where the people of the Jāhiliyyah used to offer sacrifices. He said: “For an image?” She said: “No.” He said: “For an idol?” She said: “No.” He said: “Fulfill your vow.” (Hasan)
3312 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ أَبُو قُدَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ بِالدُّفِّ، قَالَ: «أَوْفِي بِنَذْرِكِ» قَالَتْ: إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ بِمَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، مَكَانٌ كَانَ يَذْبَحُ فِيهِ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، قَالَ «لِصَنَمٍ»: قَالَتْ: لَا، قَالَ: «لِوَثَنٍ»، قَالَتْ: لَا، قَالَ: «أَوْفِي بِنَذْرِكِ»

[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.
