Question : #1068

Subject:	saf matam
Question:	Salaams, I would appreciate it if you could let inform me of the meaning of 'saf' matam and where did it originate from. How is it supposed to be done as over here people put their hands on their partners's shoulders while moving one foot forward and one foot backwards and at the same time going around in a circle. Some youngsters object saying it is more like a dance. Regards, Saira
Answer:	Our Sheikh will respond to this question in the coming days Insha'Allah, check again soon
