The issue of dance in lslam is less discussed in the advanced jurisprudential sources. According to what is mentioned in jurisprudence books, many jurists have decreed the absolute sanctity of dance and some have made exceptions to it in limited cases. Following the developments in this field in the contemporary era, new questions are raised; Among them, is dancing absolutely sacred or can there be exceptions?

Today, some sports are performed with a kind of dance that has a rational purpose, are such dances also haram? What is the verdict of local and ritual dances or dance therapy? Is it possible to consider only dances that are done with the intention of corruption as haram and exclude others from this ruling?
