Is Music haram ?

[Geeljire lotus]

I always hear that it’s haram but never bothered to look into it tbh

 

[Aziz]

No it is not. And I say that with full confidence because there is not a shred of evidence for it being haram in the Islamic religion.

Sheikh Aziz tabarakallahu fihi will stick around for any of the brothers or sisters who wish to further seek his counsel. Bi idnilaah.

I don't know but im not taking the risk. When i'm settled i will try to not listen to music as much. Tho it's hard to avoid music in western countries, since it's in every mall or store i walk into.

The dominant opinion of all 4 madhabs (including the 4 imams) is that music instruments are haram (except for the daff). Although there is a minority opinion followed by scholars like ibn hazm and al shawkani that musical instruments are not haram to use.

Just the daff according to the majority opinion since the prophet allowed the use of this drum during festivals. Although the shafi’is also make an exception for long drums on condition that it be of the same width in the middle as both ends.

Why only the daf and long drums?

Why only the daf and long drums?

Because the prophet allowed the use of the daff during festivals. There’s no narrations of the prophet allowing other drums or instruments.

No why are only drums only allowed?

Don’t you think the internet would’ve been banned in Islam if it existed in the 7th Century?

Debate.

No why are only drums only allowed?

Because the narrations from the prophet regarding music shows he only allowed the use of drums.
Aishah narrated that when a woman was married to an Ansari man, the Prophet (peace be on him) said, " 'Aishah, did they have any entertainment? The Ansar are fond of entertainment.'' (Reported by al-Bukhari.)

Ibn 'Abbas said, " 'Aishah gave a girl relative of hers in marriage to a man of the Ansar. The Prophet (peace be on him) came and asked, 'Did you send a singer along with her?' 'No,' said 'Aishah. The Messenger of Allah (peace be on him) then said, The Ansar are a people who love poetry. You should have sent along someone who would sing, 'Here we come, to you we come, greet us as we greet you.' " (Reported by Ibn Majah.)

'Aishah narrated that during the days of Mina, on the day of 'Eid al-Adha, two girls were with her, singing and playing on a hand drum. The Prophet (peace be on him) was present, listening to them with his head under a shawl. Abu Bakr then entered and scolded the girls. The Prophet (peace be on him), uncovering his face, told him, "Let them be, Abu Bakr. These are the days of 'Eid." (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

In his book, Ihya ulum al-deen, (In the quarter on "Habits", in the book Listening to Singing.), Imam al-Ghazzali mentions the ahadith about the singing girls, the Abyssinians playing with spears in the Prophet's Mosque, the Prophet's encouraging them by saying, "Carry on, O Bani Arfidah," his asking his wife, 'Aishah, "Would you like to watch?" and standing there with her until she herself became tired and went away, and 'Aishah's playing with dolls with her friends. He then says:

All these ahadith are reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim in the two Sahihs, and they clearly prove that singing and playing are not haram. From them we may deduce the following:

First: The permissibility of playing; the Abyssinians were in the habit of dancing and playing.

Second: Doing this in the mosque.

Third: The Prophet's saying, 'Carry on, O Bani Arfidah,' was a command and a request that they should play; then how can their play be considered haram?

Fourth: The Prophet (peace be on him) prevented Abu Bakr and 'Umar from interrupting and scolding the players and singers. He told Abu Bakr that 'Eid was a joyous occasion and that singing was a means of enjoyment.

Fifth: On both occasions he stayed for a long time with 'Aishah, letting her watch the show of the Abyssinians and listening with her to the singing of the girls. This proves that it is far better to be good-humored in pleasing women and children with games than to express such disapproval of such amusements out of a sense of harsh piety and asceticism.

Sixth: The Prophet (peace be on him) himself encouraged 'Aishah by asking her, "Would you like to watch?" (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

Seventh: The permissibility of singing and playing on the drum...

Ah shut up, ya mong.

 

[Mr.Haggis]

Music is forbidden anybody who follows I.e. by going to concerts. Music is a tool of shaitain it’s his religion.

Music is haram period, but the majority of Muslims don't give a damn about it.
