Asalaamu alikum,

There is a newer one out now in the states by Sami Yusuf. I really like it, but I do have a question that insha Allah someone here will be able to answer for me:

Does anyone know what is the ruling about listening to songs that praise Allah or the Prophet s.a.w that include both music and singing at the same time? For example, if you are listening to such a song, most in particular when it is not in your native language and it makes you feel like dancing I cannot imagine this is a good thing. I heard at one point that sounds of nature used as music or the use of drums is acceptable, and I heard another one that it must be either the music alone, or the singing alone, but not the two together.

If anyone can give some input on this I would appreciate it. It seems like there are conflicting opinions, therefore I am hoping for something from Quran or Sunnah that mentions how nasheeds were done at the time of the Prophet s.a.w and the 4 rightly guided Khalifa.

I hope this is not diverting too much away from the original topic.

Jazak Allah khairn,

~Jennifer

Salam sister,

in my opinion there is no harm as long as you are having this feeling with your household and not affecting your duties towards Allah.

there is a hadith found in Vol 5, Book 58 , Hadith # 268 in Sahih Bukhari it says:

Narrated by Aisha that once Abu Bakr came to her on the day of Id ul fitr or Id ul Adha while the prophet was with her and there were two girls singers with her singing songs of Ansar about the day of Buath. Abu Bakr said twice, "Musical Instrument of Satan" but the prophet said "leave them abu bakr, for every nation has an 'Id (i.e festival) and this day is our 'Id.

and Allah knows best.

(Assalam) Assalamo Alikum.

Bismillah

As salam alaikum

I have only heard of drums being allowed in terms of instruments. I found this hadith though:

Sahih Bukhari

Volume 7, Book 69, Number 494v:

Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari:

that he heard the Prophet saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection."

As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
