As Sister Labibah has pointed out,there is no need to be so harsh.

At the end of the day,let allah be the judge.

Back down sunshine.

And as for 'dont insult me..'

If you cant handle the heat,dont walk on the sun.

If you are willing to dish it out to others (even though he isnt a member of this forum),then be prepared for someone to set you in your place.If you arent prepared for it,maybe you should go harden up before coming online and labeling people.

At the end of the day,you are not a scholor,i am not a scholor,..heck,i'll be suprised if anyone on this forum is a scholor.Our understanding of islam is not as wide as theirs.Some scholors dont disagree with music,some do.

So if someone decides to listen to a scholor who doesnt disagree with Music,leave him be.

If you dont accept his position,say "i dont agree" but labeling people can be very dangerous.

If you want,i can demonstrate it for you,but i fear that i might get banned...So i dont think i will.

Wa'salaam.

Waiting for the sisters reply also...i think she was a bit harsh on making her point, because of the name being mentioned...Sami Yousuf isn't the only artist...I'm guessing..

Ahh nevamind........

AsalamuAlaykum!

Thats something that i have an issue with.

She Really should learn to control her tongue (her fingers in this case) when she is trying to make a point.

At the end of the day,she is pretty much pointing out that she is better than others.

She is too proud of herself.

Kheir.May allah swt guide her,and sami yusuf...and I.
 
This is what my scholar says on the subject... you can research your own and make your own judgements.

Question : Can a Muslim listen to music?

§ Answer : Music that is permissible is the music that does not entail entertainment in gatherings held for that purpose. Forbidden music is the music that is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings.
The expression “the music or the song that is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings” does not mean that the music or the song’s tune amuses the heart or changes the mental state because there is nothing wrong in it. The expression actually means that the person listening to the music or the song’s tune - especially if he is an expert in these matters - can distinguish that this tune is used in the entertainment and amusement gatherings or that it is similar to the tunes used therein.

:sl:

Please excuse my lack of time to read that long letter :hiding: - but can anyone summarize that letter so i can quickly get the point? :?

Yvonne Ridley was right.Sami Yusuf was wrong. But Yvonne Ridley should have first contacted Sami Yusuf before making this a public affair, which leads to suspicion on her true intentions. Allah knows best.

Open Letter
From Sami Yusuf to Yvonne Riddley

As a Muslim artist, I regularly seek clarification and advice from world-renowned scholars on art, music, singing and culture. Be informed that the subject of music is one of the most controversial topics in Islamic Jurisprudence. I respect those who consider music to be haram. Yes eminent scholars of our past have opined such. However, I respect and follow the opinion of other eminent scholars – classical and contemporary, who permit singing and the use of musical instruments

I think he is picking out things in Islam that seem OK to him and discarding the other opinions that are not to his liking. A muslim should always embrace the truth of his deen, whatever it may be.

may Allah s.w.t guide them both.

Ya, cause i'm shi'ite. I'm pretty sure there a Sunni scholars that say the same about music as well.
