I hope that you all are in the best state of health and iman!!
This is an article explaining how and why nasheeds are haraam!! I hope you all understand and stay away from it!! I also hope that no one gets offended by this cuz' it ain't my words!! Its the words of sheikh Salih al Fawzaan!! I know its very long but i believe its worth reading!!
Anasheed
In his Book “Al-Khutab al-Mimbariyyah”(3/184-185, 1411H Edition), Sheikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan said: “What deserves attention also is: The tapes that are being increasingly circulated amongst the practicing youth in which are recorded anasheed, done in group voices. They call them Islamic Anasheed, but they are a form of singing and sometimes they occur with provocative voices. They can even be found being sold at tape exhibitions along with tapes of the noble Quran and religious lectures.
Calling these Anasheed ‘Islamic’ is incorrect, since Islam has not legislated anasheed for us. Rather it only prescribed for us the remembrance of Allah, the recitation of the Quran, and the acquiring of knowledge. As for Anasheed, then they are from the ways of the innovating sufis, those who take their religion as play and amusement. Furthermore, taking Anasheed as part of the religion contains in it imitation of the disbelievers, those who make their religion into collective chanting and musical melodies.
It is an obligation to warn against these Anasheed and to prevent their sale and distribution. In addition to this, these Anasheed contain an incitement towards fitnah with reckless zeal they cause instigation amongst the Muslims. Those who spread the Anasheed use as proof for their claim the fact that poems would be chanted in the presence of the Prophet(Salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam) and he would listen to them and concur with that.
The response to this is that those poems that would be chanted in front of Allah’s Messenger (Salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam), they would be chanted in a group voice in the form of singing, and they would not be called ‘Islamic Anasheed.’ On the contrary, they were just Arab poems, which contained points of wisdom, parables, and descriptions of valor and nobility. The companions would recite these individually due to the meanings they contained. And Sometimes they would chant these poems at the time of doing some laborious work, such as construction, and traveling at night on a journey. So this proves that this type of chanting is permissible under these similar specific circumstances, not that they should be made into one of the subjects of education and da’wah, as is prevalent nowadays, such that students are dictated these Anasheed and they are called: ‘Islamic Hymns’ and ‘Religious Chants.’
This is innovating in the Religion and it is from the ways of the innovating Sufis, for they are the ones who are known to take these Anasheed as part of their religion. So it is obligatory to be cautious of their plots and to prevent the sale of these tapes, since evil at first begins small, and then progresses and increases if it is not terminated at it’s inception.”
The noble Sheikh, Muhammad bin Saalih al-‘Uthaimeen was asked the following question about Anasheed: “Is it permissible for me to chant Islamic Anasheed (Hymns)? And is it permissible to beat the duff along with these chants? Also, are the chanting of these hymns permissible in situations other than ‘Eid and Wedding Festivities?”
So he responded by saying: “The Islamic Anasheed (hymns) are innovated hymns. They resemble that which the Sufis have innovated. This is why we must refrain form them and instead turn towards the admonitions found in the Quran and Sunnah. This is unless, these hymns occur at times of war, so as to encourage and build up courage for Jihad in the Cause of Allah, for this is good. And if these hymns are accompanied by the duff then they stray even further from what is correct.” [Transcribed from the book “The Fataawa of Sheikh Muhammad al-‘Uthaimeen” compiled by Ashraf ‘Abdul-Maqsood(1/134-135); 1412 Edition; Dar ‘Aalam-ul-kutub]

Very interesting, though I know scholars who will say differently. They are islamic nasheeds, because they are nasheeds about Islam, they arnt a form of worship, and they are not said to be part of Islam, so how can they be innovation?
What is the ruling on Islamic nasheeds that are free of music?
Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.
The clear saheeh texts indicate in a number of ways that it is permissible to recite poetry and listen to it. It was narrated in saheeh reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his noble Companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) listened to verse, recited it (as nasheed) and asked others to recite it, both when they were travelling and when they stayed at home, in their gatherings and whilst they were working, individually, as in the case of Hassaan ibn Thaabit, ‘Aamir ibn al-Akwa’ and Anjashah (may Allaah be pleased with them), and in unison, as in the hadeeth of Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) which describes the digging of the ditch (al-khandaq). Anas said:
When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw how exhausted and hungry we were, he said (in verse):
“O Allaah, there is no life except the life of the Hereafter, so forgive the Ansaar and the Muhaajireen.”
And they said in response:
“We are the ones who have pledged allegiance to Muhammad, to make jihaad for as long as we live.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3/1043)
And in gatherings too: Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated with a hasan isnaad that Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan said: “The Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not speak in devious tones or in a soft manner. They used to recite verses in their gatherings, denouncing the affairs of their jaahiliyyah, but if it was the matter of their religion, they would become very serious and cautious (8/711).
This evidence indicates that nasheeds are permissible, whether recited individually or in unison. The word nasheed in Arabic means raising the voice when reciting verse and making the voice sound beautiful and gentle.
There are conditions to which attention must be paid with regard to this matter:
Not using forbidden musical instruments in nasheed.
Not doing it too much or making it the focus of the Muslim’s mind, occupying all his time, or neglecting obligatory duties because of it.
Nasheed should not be recited by women, or include haraam or obscene speech.
They should not resemble the tunes of the people of immorality and promiscuity.
They should be free of vocal effects that produce sounds like those of musical instruments.
They should not have moving tunes which make the listener feel “high” as happens to those who listen to songs. This is the case with many of the nasheeds which appear nowadays, so that the listeners no longer pay any attention to the good meaning of the words, because they are so entranced by the tunes. And Allaah is the Source of strength.

Allah swt knows best, but I know some scholars who have said that if there are no men there and it won't be heard by men, then it is permissable for the women to sing, provided that they follow the same guidelines.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Surely I was sent to perfect the qualities of righteous character" [Musnad Ahmad, Muwatta Mâlik]

I still listen to nasheeds sometimes...to be honest I dont really listen to them alot but sometimes its nice to have a bit of background noise and Id rather hear Allahs name now and again in a song than something totally haram.
Also, I thought that women can sing provided its within the company of females only and men will not see or hear.
Sis if u want background noise why don't you listen to poetry!!
Go to salafiaudio.com and then scroll down almost all the way and you should see sumthin that says Poetry....... click that and you can hear them!! i like the second one!!

I don't listen to nasheeds at all. I used to, but at some point I just stopped listening to them. Now I get a bit angry whenever my siblings turn them on. What I hate the most, however, is the so-called 'Islamic Rap'. If you heard it in passing, you wouldn't think it any different from regular rap, so even if the lyrics may gravitate towards Islam, I get the feeling that the medium itself is probably haraam. What do you think? Salaam and take care, all.
