i like dancing oriental music much and i like watching those who dance on the tv. i dont let anyone sees me except some of my intimate sisters. i love dancing but not regularly bc this helps me to have a good shape. but sometimes when i dance, though no one sees me, feel ashamed of myself and sometimes i stop dancing. im not sure if this haram or no. by the way, i dancing does not make me neglect my prayers nor reading quran. i dance in my leisure time.
sis i think if you dance where only sisters are then it's ok but if you dance where brothers are then it's not allowed
but then again it depends what kind of ''music''
Listening to music and singing is a sin and cause for the sickening and weakening of the heart. The majority of the scholars of the Salaf are unanimous that listening to music and singing and using musical instruments is Haram (prohibited).
Evidence that Music and Singing are Haram
1. Allaah said, what translated means, "And of mankind he who purchases idle talks to mislead (people) from the Path of Allaah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allaah) by way of mockery, For such there will be a humiliating torment." [31:6].
Al-Wahidi , along with other scholars of Tafsir (explaining the Qur'aan), said that "Idle Talk" in this Ayah is singing. The following companions gave this Tafsir: Ibn Abbas, Ibn Masud, Mujahid and Ikrimah . Ibn Masud said, "By Allaah, whom there is no God except Him, idle talk is singing."
2. The Prophet said (which means), "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.' Allaah 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." [Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 69, Number 494v].
This Hadeeth states that musical instruments are Haram, and there is no disagreement among the scholars on this. In his book, Ighathat Al-Lahfan, Ibn Al-Qayyim said, "When the Prophet said, 'render as lawful,' he meant that it was unlawful, then the people made it lawful."
3. Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet said, what translated means, group of this nation will be transformed into monkeys and swine." They said, "Do not they testify that there is no god except Allaah and that Muhammed is His Messenger?" He said, "Yes. And also they fast pray and perform Hajj." They said, "Then, what is their problem?" He said, "They use musical instruments, drums and female singers. (One day) they will go to sleep after a night of drinking and having fun, In the morning, they will be transformed (by Allaah) into monkeys and swine." [Iughathat Al-Lahfan].
4. Allaah said, criticizing the Kuffar's worship around the Kaa'bah, what translated means, "Their prayer at the House (Kaa'bah) was nothing but Muka'an and Tasdiyah." [8:35]. Ibn Abbas, Ibn Umar, Atiyyah, Muj ahid, Ad-Dhahh'ak, AlHasan and Qatadah said that Muka'an means whistling, and that Tasdiyah means clapping of hands.
Sayings of the Scholars Regarding Music and Singing
Imam IbnTaymiyyah said, "Listening to music and sinful fun are among what strengthens the satanic ways the most. This is exactly what the disbeliever's used to do. Allaah said, And their prayer at the House (of Allaah) was nothing but Muka 'an and Tasdiyah. [8:35]. Ibn Abbas, ibn Umar and others said that Tasdiyah is clapping of hands, and that Muka'an is whistling. This was the Mushrikeen's way of worship. The Prophet and his companions worshipped Allaah , according to His order, in their prayer, reading the Qur'aan and Dhikr (supplication). It never occurred that the Prophet and his companions gathered to listen to singing that is accompanied by clapping or using drums."
Imam Ibn Taymiyyah also said regarding the person, whose habit is to listen to music, "His state of emotions becomes less passionate when he hears the Qur'aan. On the contrary, when he listens to instruments of the devil (music), he dances a lot. If the prayer is established, he either prays while sitting down or performs it as fast as when the roaster picks seeds. He dislikes listening to the Qur'aan and does not find beauty in it while reciting it. He has no taste for the Qur'aan and feels no love for it or pleasure when it is read. Rather, he finds pleasure if he listens to Mukaa' or Tasdiyah. These are satanic pleasures and he is among those whom Allaah mentioned in the Ayah, And whosoever turns away from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allaah), We appoint for him Satan to be a companion for him. [43:36]." [Awliyaa' Ar-Rahman].
Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim said, "Of the tricks of the enemy of Allaah, Satan, that he uses to trap those who do not enjoy much intelligence, knowledge or sincerity in religion, are M ukaa' and Tasdiyah. These people of ignorance listen to and use musical instruments that are prohibited and which lead the hearts to abandoning the Qur'aan. These hearts are indulging in sin and disobedience of Allaah. Music, then, is Satan's Qur'aan and the barrier between one and Allaah. It is the way to sodomy and adultery. With it, the lover finds what he seeks and dreams of sinful love. Satan has trapped the weak hearts in the love of singing and made it beautiful to them. Satan reveals to his agents' fake proofs that they use as evidence to the beauty of singing. These people accept Satan's revelation and, as a consequence, abandon the Qur'aan. When you witness them while listening, you will find them silent in humbleness, sitting idle and their hearts are concentrating and totally enjoying music and singing. Their hearts will feel closer to music, as if they were drunk. They dance and move in a suggestive manner, like faggots and whores. And why not? They are drunk with the pleasure of listening to music and singing and act accordingly. For other than Allaah, and for Satan, there are hearts that are being broken by sin, and fortunes that are being spent for other than Allaah's Pleasure. They spend their lives in joyful fun and make a mockery of their religion. Instruments of the devil are sweeter to their ears than the Qur'aan. If one of them listens to the Qur'aan from beginning to end, it will have little effect or excitement on him. If Satan's Qur'aan is being performed and heard, they feel joy in their hearts and one can see it in their eyes. Their feet dance, their hands clap, their breathing intensifies and the rest of their bodies feel joy. O you who are trapped in this sin, you who have sold your share of Allaah to Satan, what a losing deal! Why not feels this joy when you listen to the Qur'aan? Why not feel pleasure and comfort when the Glorious Qur'aan is recited? But, everyone seeks what he feels is suitable for him, and ends up with what is really suitable for him." [Ighathat Al-Lahfan].
Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Baz was asked about listening to music and songs, "Is it Haram? I only listen to it for pleasure. What about playing the Rababah (a kind of guitar) and old songs? What about using drums in weddings?"
Sheikh Ibn Baz said, "Listening to music is Haram and a sin. It is a matter that leads to weakening the hearts and abandoning the Dhikr of Allaah and the prayer. The scholars said about the Ayah, And of' mankind he who purchases idle talks [31:6], that idle talks means singing. Abdullaah ibn Masud , the Prophet's companion, used to swear by Allaah that it is singing. If singing is accompanied by the Rababah, 'Ud (Arabic guitar), fiddles or drums, it is even more Haram. Any singing with any instrument is Haram and the scholars are unanimous on this. Therefore, Muslims must be aware of it. The Prophet said, "From among my nation there will be those who render as lawful adultery, silk (for men), AI-Khamr (alcohol) and musical instruments." [Al-Bukhari]. I advise you and others to read the Qur'aan and keep remembering Allaah. I advise you to listen to Qur'aanic programs on the radio. This way, one will find pleasure and will keep busy so he can stay away from music and songs. As for weddings, the Daff (tambourine) can be used along with innocent singing that does not call to sin. This can be done at night, only in weddings and only by and for women. These songs are a way of announcing an Islaamic marriage. The Sunnah of the Prophet supports the above. As for the drums, they are Haram all the time. The Daffis permitted in weddings and only for and by women."
Many Muslims today render music as permissible. This is due to their ignorance or outright defiance of the religion. We ask Allaah that we are among those who listen to the speech and follow the best of what it contains. These are the ones whom Allaah has guided and granted them the bounty of sanity and comprehending minds.
well, i dont think music is haram. music doesnt harm us to be haram. listening to music, esp classical music, promote our souls and promote the artistic side in us. scientifically proven, some plants grow faster if ther are placed in aplce where the music is played.
Sami yusuf latest CD is full of songs in which there are all musical instruments. not music haram but some kind of music haram. the songs for example which encourage people to do haram or excite them sexually. some rap songs encourage people to be violent and rude etc.
but im askin if dancing haram esp, sorry for saying so, im imitating shakira in her dance. but im not like her in anything except the way she dances. and i dont let any one see me even my brother and father. that s clear.
The first thing to remember in matters relating to dancing or any other form of performing arts is that Islam has not expressly prohibited taking part in any of these activities. The most one can say, due to this lack of express prohibition of the Shari`ah is that one finds taking part in these activities to be against the spirit of the directives of the Shari`ah. Such a comment, however, will warrant that a difference of opinion can exist in such matters. The decision, in such a case should be that of the individual.
From your question, you seem to be quite well aware of what classical dancing is and how it fits in with the social directives of Islam. As a form of artistic expression, Islam does not prohibit it. However, within every form of artistic expression, there may be certain limits that the individual may find to be, in some way, beyond the moral limits set the Shari`ah. A good Muslim is required by the Shari`ah to honor and uphold the directives of the Shari`ah and also to keep away from all such actions, which he finds to be against the spirit of the directives of the Shari`ah.
well, thanks my sister, i read all this before but i heared in many religious channels , music is not haram, but some kind of music haram. there is a music in nature. the singing of the birds the sound of water falls, the sound of windows etc. music is part of our nature.
i dont listen to music much, and when i listen, i choose sami yusuf. if music haram, why brother sami yusuf uses musical instruments in his songs though he is a religious and pious person.
liste, w live in a world full of corruption, if we order people to stop doin everything, they wouldnt embrace islam. islam is religion of "yusr".
many scholars say that women have to cover their faces and give proof from Quran and sunnah, while others say that women should cover all her body except face and hands, they also take arguemts from quran and sunnah. it s a matter of choice, you can choose the things that u like but without disobeying God.
well sis i know what you mean but as in izlam ''music'' is not allowed full stop!
and we had a thread about if ''music'' is allowed or not but am not sure if it still here or not but anyway all i can say it isn't cause i have reverted and i don't know that much so please forgive me if i have said anything bad cause my intention is not to
if your saying how can we dance if theres no ''music'' then don't dance at all and also i read an article saying that if you dance or listen to music then why not do other stuff that is not allowed in izlam!
also sis you need to think on the positive side cause as a muzlim you know certain instruments are not allowed and also if there is no music and you can exercise am sure that is allowed
, esp classical music, promote our souls and promote the artistic side in us. scientifically proven, some plants grow faster if ther are placed in aplce where the music is played.
True but not to all music. Only classical music is good for health according to science.
Also proven that rock music is bad for health. Experiments carried out showed effects of rock music.
An egg was taken and kept near a speaker which played rock music and six hours later the liquid protein in the egg turned solid!!
the human brain has many fluid proteins. Guess what happens

I dont watch, listen to songs and all but from what I know Shakira and the other singers expose themselves and hence watching these is not appropraite.
Music is prohibited and condemned by many Qur’anic verses. Allah says, “And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. Music, singing etc.) to mislead men from the path of Allah without knowledge and takes it (the path of Allah, or the verses of the Qur’an) by way of mockery. For such there will be humiliating torment (in the Hell-fire).” (Luqmaan: 6).
well, dont u think that dancing and move one's body esp the belly is not like doin other sports?
again, why brother sami yusuf uses all the musical instrument in his songs if music haram? when i heared some of his songs, i feel like i wanna dance, but i dont dance when i listen to his songs bc dancing is inconsistent with praisin Allah and his prophet.
well there you go sis ok if Sami Yusuf has got instruments that are NOT allowed in izlam then why listen to the red ''evil''?!
and sis you can exercise with out music thers no problem with that and if you think about when oyu stand in front of your lord what are you going to say to him when asks you why you listen to music and dance?
what are you going to say then sis?
you always need to think what is going to happen later on
Beware of things that lead to Allah’s wrath. Appearance of music and stringed instruments is a cause of Allah’s wrath and His chastisement. Aboo Maalik Al-Ash’aree narrated that the Messenger of Allah said, “There will be a group of people among my nation who will drink alcohol calling it by other names and upon their heads stringed instruments will be played and in their presence songstresses will sing, Allah will cause the earth to swallow them and He will turn them into monkeys and pigs.”
Music is haraam full stop. The only instrument that isnt haraam is the drum thing called the 'duff'..
and Sami Yusuf songs with music are haraam. Just because his music has instruments in it doesn't mean its right.
Clean yourselves and your ears from idle talk and stringed instruments of Satan and replace them with the Gardens of Paradise that are to be found in Qur’anic reading and Sunnah study circles, you will reap the everlasting fruits, have guidance and find a cure for all diseases of the heart, mind and soul. Be among those whom Allah describes thus: “And if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they pass it by with dignity.” (Al-Furqaan: 72).
islamgyl, who do u rfer to when yu say evil red? u r commitin a sin by saying so.
bro sami yusuf is religious man who spreads islam by giving a good example of islam. his songs touch the heart of many people and many have converted to islam because of him.
that maybe so sis but it doesn't mean what he is doing is right.
Bukhari Volume: 7, Book Number: 69, Hadith 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 you can see dear sister, that the use of instruments is haraam.

sis i do understand that you may like his lyrics but then again sis if you think about it sis check his ''INSTRUMENTS'' out!
sis please read this:- Brothers in faith! Beware of things that lead to Allah’s wrath. Appearance of music and stringed instruments is a cause of Allah’s wrath and His chastisement. Aboo Maalik Al-Ash’aree narrated that the Messenger of Allah said, “There will be a group of people among my nation who will drink alcohol calling it by other names and upon their heads stringed instruments will be played and in their presence songstresses will sing, Allah will cause the earth to swallow them and He will turn them into monkeys and pigs.”
