Question: Does it enter into the prohibition, the bells which are used in general like at schools…?
Answer: “Yes, if it has a jingle and ringing. It enters into the prohibition. However, it is possible to use something that has a sound but does not have this ringing, which is the instrument of Shaytan”.
