Using a duff in a wedding function

Q: A person I know is getting married, so they are hosting a party where we will gather and eat. The duff will also be played in the party. The party will be women-only, but I'm having some doubt on the duff part. 

Is this within the boundaries of permissibility to use the duff? Also, I think they will use some speakers so that the duff is louder.

A: They should refrain from this. This is not permissible as it resembles musical instruments.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
