Clapping One's Hands and Whistling

Question :

What is the ruling on people whistling and clapping their hands in parties?

Answer:

This practice appears to be taken from non-Muslims; therefore, it is not an appropriate thing for a Muslim to do. When a Muslim is joyful about something, he says 'Allahuakbar (Allah is the greatest)', or 'Subhanallah (How perfect Allâh is!)'.

Furthermore, it is incorrect to say "Allahuakbar in unison with a group, as some people do. A person should say this by himself; there is no basis to saying so in unison with others.
