Salaam,


Don't worry, it was just a misunderstanding the last time you posted, no hard feelings. [img]style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img][img]style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/img]


As for music, I've seen this discussion on another forum, and there were very long articles supporting the fact that music is haram, and then I've seen elsewhere that music is not haram in certain circumstances.


I hope someone can give their insight to that here, because this has been something that I've struggled with.


Wasalaam.

As salamu aleiykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!


Here is an article on Music/Songs that I came across.

Among the entertainments which may comfort the soul, please the
heart, and refresh the ear is singing. Islam permits singing


under the condition that it not be in any way obscene or harmful


to Islamic morals. There is no harm in it being accompanied by


music which is not exciting. (Y. al-Qaradawi, "The Lawful and the


Prohibited in Islam," p. 300)


Another hadith which supports the permissability of singing is the


following:


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 (s.a.w.) 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.]


In addition, the following hadith supports singing and playing of


drums during the celebration of `Eid:


`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 (s.a.w.) was present, listening to them with


his head under a shawl. Abu Bakr then entered and scolded the


girls. The Prophet (s.a.w.), uncovering his face, told him,


"Let them be, Abu Bakr. These are the days of `Eid."


[Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.]\par


Furthermore, Yusuf al-Qaradawi reports that


[M]any of the Companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with


them) as well as second generation Muslim scholars used to listen


to singing and did not see anything wrong with it. As for the


ahadith, which have been reported against singing, they are all


weak and have been shown by researchers to be unsound. The jurist


Abu Bakr al-`Arabi says, "No sound hadith is available concerning


the prohibition of singing," while Ibn Hazm says, "All that is


reported on this subject is false and fabricated."


[From al-Qaradawi, p. 302.]


As for those who argue that singing is haram, some of them claim that


the following verse of the Qur'an to be against singing:


And among the people is the one who buys idle talk (at the expense


of his soul) in order to lead (people) astray from the path of


Allah without knowledge, holding it in mockery; for such there


will be a humiliating punishment.


[Qur'an 31:6]


This, however, is not the correct understanding of this ayat (notice


that it does not even mention singing or music at all). The correct


understanding of this ayat, according to Ibn Hazm, is this:


This verse condemns a particular behavior, that of doing something


to mock the path of Allah. Anyone who does this is an unbeliever;


if he even should buy a copy of the Qur'an, doing so in order to


make it the object of his mockery and thereby leading people


astray, he would be an unbeliever. It is this type of behavior


which is condemned by Allah and not the idle talk in which one


may indulge for mere relaxation, without intending to lead people


astray from the path of Allah.


[ibn Hazm, quoted in al-Qaradawi, p. 302.]

Wassalam. Jazzakallahu Khayr Daiman...I wanna made backgroungmusics. But it will be misunderstanded, because somemuslims lissen only their music another music is kafeer music, so may you will be kafeer if you lissen it. I watch alot muslim channel most arabic and most islamic. Using western music for background of a videoclips or presentation can this be haram?


I have see an presentation (islamic) they uses gregorian music for backgroud, maybe this could be haram.


There is alot different fatwas. Some1 says musicinstruments are tools of shaytan.


Allahu Aleem. wassalam...
