Bunanah, the freed slave of Abdul Rahman bin Hassan Al-Ansari, narrated: She was with Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) when a young girl was brought to her wearing bells that made noise. Aisha said: Do not bring her to me unless you cut off her bells. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: The angels do not enter a house in which there is a bell 1 .

(1) The statement: "The angels do not enter a house in which there is a bell": Our master Muhammad Yahya, the deceased, wrote from the explanation of his teacher regarding the statement: "a house in which there is a bell," that it is necessary to know that this disapproval applies to what is intentionally placed as such. As for what is not placed for sound or ringing, it is not prohibited, even if it occasionally produces sound, as observed with women’s jewelry when they wear a lot of it. Thus, it is stated in Bazl al-Majhood.

(١)قوله: لا تدخل الملائكة بيتا فيه جرس: وكتب مولانا محمد يحيى المرحوم من تقرير شيخه قوله: (بيتا فيهجرس)، ومن الواجب أن يعلم أن هذه الكراهة فيما كان وضعه كذلك، وأما ما ليس بموضوع للصوت والجرس فلايحرم، وإن لزم فيه التصويت أحيانا، كما يشاهد في حلي النساء إذا أكثرن منها. كذا في (بذل المجهود).
