“Do Not Play Music!” Taliban ordered Kabul Wedding Hall owners

DID Press: The Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice has told Kabul wedding hall owners to refrain from playing any kind of music.

Akif Muhajer, the spokesperson for the ministry, told Kabul wedding hall owners to refrain from playing any kind of music during the wedding ceremonies, saying it contradicts the teachings of Islam.
