well I was trying my hand at making an e-card today and its an Eid E-card in flash...
its just a test thingie but anyways....
The thing that I need your opinion on is that is it approriate for me to use the music I have in the card?
I wanted to give it a "festive touch" and remembered the hadith of the Prophet "Let them sing, every nation has its eid and this is ours"
So I guess just for festivity would this music be alowed?
Please keep in mind I have not had the chance to add a preloader to the flash file so on slower connections it may take a little time to load...but its not that big about 280 KB
I don't think its a good idea to put music. Maybe if you post something like recititations or nasheeds then they will be a whole lot better insha'Allah.
Barakallahu Feekum.
Do your charity in the name of Da'wah and help us out
Well bro there is the Hadith regarding where the girls were singing in the presence of the Prophet(sa) and Abu Bakr (ra) came in and said "the instruments of the satan in the Prophets presence?" And the Prophet (sa) stopped him and said, "Every nation has its eid and this is ours"
I will try and get the correct references for this hadith for u in case u havent heard this before but its a very famou one bro...

Ok I dug up the proper ruling regarding this music issue on Eid
Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 2.153
Playing, amusements, singing, and eating on the days of 'id
Recreation, amusements, and singing, if they stay within the moral bounds, are permissible on the days of 'id.
Anas reports: "When the Prophet came to Medinah they had two days of sport and amusement. The Prophet said: "Allah, the Exalted, has exchanged these days for two days better than them: the day of breaking the fast and the day of sacrifice." This is related by an-Nasa'i and Ibn Hibban with a sahih chain.
'Aishah says: "The Abyssinians were preforming in the mosque on the day of 'id. I looked over the Prophet's shoulders and he lowered them a little so I could see them until I was satisfied and left." This is related by Ahmad, al-Bukhari, and Muslim.
Ahmad, al-Bukhari, and Muslim also record that she said: "Abu Bakr entered upon us on the day of 'id and there were some slave girls who were recounting [in song the battle of] Bu'ath in which many of the brave of the tribes of Aus and Khazraj were killed. Abu Bakr said: 'Slaves of Allah, you play the pipes of the Satan!' He said it three times. The Prophet said to him: 'O Abu Bakr, every people have a festival and this is our festival."' In al-Bukhari's version, 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah, entered the house and I had two girls who were singing about the battle of Bu'ath. The Prophet lied down on the bed and turned his face to the other direction. Abu Bakr entered and spoke harshly to me, 'Musical instruments of the Satan in the presence of the Messenger of Allah!' The Messenger of Allah turned his face to him and said: 'Leave them.' When Abu Bakr became inattentive I signaled to the girls to leave. It was the day of 'id and the Africans were performing with their shields and spears. Either I asked him or the Prophet asked if I would like to watch them [I don't recall now]. I replied in the affirmative. At this the Prophet made me stand behind him and my cheek was against his. He was saying: 'Carry on, O tribe of Arfadah,' until I tired. The Prophet asked: 'Is that enough for you?' I replied: "yes," so he said: 'Leave [then].'"
Ibn Hajar writes in Fath al-Bari, "Ibn as-Siraj related from Abu az-Zinad on the authority of 'Urwah from 'Aishah that the Prophet said that day: 'Let the Jews of Medinah know that our religion is spacious [and has room for relaxation] and I have been sent with an easy and straight forward religion. "'
Ahmad and Muslim record from Nubaishah that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "The days of tashriq (i.e., the days in which the 'id is celebrated) are days of eating and drinking [non alcoholic drinks] and of remembering Allah, the Exalted."
Well it depends...if ur going for a westernized approach, then urrrmmmmmm. The board wont allow western music, e.g. love songs, songs with rubbish lyrics.
The majority of Muslim scholars prohibit music and musical instruments. It is mentioned in Sahîh al-Bukhâri that Abû Mâlik al-Ash`arî said: “I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: “There will be a group of my people who will legalize for themselves adultery, pure silk, intoxicants, and stringed instruments."
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “I was ordered to avoid two foolish and vile sounds; a sound of a musical tunes and Satan’s musical instruments, and cries made on account of a calamity.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhî]
The only exception to this ruling is the duff, a tambourine without bells, which only women are allowed to use among themselves as an accompaniment to their singing at weddings and on other festive occasions. This was permitted by the Prophet (peace be upon him).
Music is a very controversial issue in Islam over which the scholars are not all in agreement. It has already been discussed here but as Ansar said, this forum is not for prolonged fiqh discussions.

Music is a controversial topic within Islam and there are differences of opinion amongst Muslims that I wouldn't expect to disappear. Everyone has to follow what they believe is most in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah, as understood by the early pious generation of Muslims. We do not simply follow what is in accordance with our desires.
Before I close this thread, I would like to re-iterate what I have said previously about the consensus of Muslim scholars on this issue. Scholars would agree that profane music or music that incites one to do evil (as is most prominent in the western music industry) or music that promotes immorality - all these are haraam. Scholars would also agree that simple vocal songs (nasheeds) calling one to Allah swt or reminding one of the truth, that these are permissable. Between these two categories there is a large grey area. So let every individual focus on what will benefit them in the afterlife.
also the prophet (s.a.w) said that all women had to have the face covered infront of men at all times their are onky allowed to show they face to their husbands and their family members like brothers father uncle
