Bollywood Dancing for Children - unislamic?

i certainly was not going to go against my husbands wishes, but i was just wondering whether it is forbidden from islamic point of view as the reason he gave to me seemed inadequate.

my thinking was innocent, i thought she is just a baby and kids love to dance and it is good for learning coordination, developing their hearing etc and all that done in a fun and enjoyable way. for some reason i thought up until the age of puberty it was allowed.

regarding music, to my knowledge it was only haram to listen to dirty songs which make people envisage immoral things, however kids nursery rhymes (ba ba black sheep, twinke twinkle little star) there's nothing wrong with it if kids sing or dance to those songs, as they are innocent.

surely bollywood music is different from nursery rhymes, but to her it would have been just music, she can't speak urdu or panjaby so she can't understand the meaning.

anyway, my desision is i won't send her to any dancing classes simply because my husband disagrees and i can't question as to why.

Hmmm I'd disagree with this.... You have to question, in order to fathom...

Also sister, I don't speak French, but I can still workout the things they do in french films....Bollywood films and songs are/can be VERY raunchy. She'd associate this to be acceptable.

Best to save yourself and child trouble in the future.

listen and obey your husband..

kuu anfusakum wa ahliikum naaraa

avoid ure self and ure family from the hell fire..:cry::cry:

Sadly those that express in the extreme view often only tend to enforce the opinion that something is harmless and all of the warnings are nonsense.

Let us just stick with the simple basics. Bollywood dancing and music is haram. Not because it is a guaranteed path to lead a child to he road of hellfire. But, simply because it sets an example for the child to see what the parent finds acceptable.

today it is probably no problem, but today will soon become tomorrow's memories. These memories will be of what the child perceives as right or wrong.

Listen to your husband, not out of duty, but for love of your daughter. Do not put her in the position where someday she will have to choose between what was a pleasurable moment and what is right.
 
it wont turn her into a prostitute, nevertheless it is not right to send her to dancing classes of any sort, not only bollywood dancing...
 
well I suggest its better her ntt to do those stuff cuz later she will be influence to da habbit nd turn against you if she became really attach to it..nd i knw u wont want dat to hppen..in additon its best to take da advice ur husband gav you..:statisfie

Also Allah (SWT) have commanded the wife to obey her husband and these cartoons and movies and sitcom teaches the women to raise above her husband and she be the man of the house. What happens is that the husband is miserable, divorce raises and the wife herself loses respect to her husband she end up leaving the house, end up cheating to her husband, or start seducing other men or walking in the street immorally.

but doesn't it depend on ones personality? I don't think every woman who watches sitcoms, considers herself to be the man of the house ?! at least I don't :D also it doesn't make my husband miserable, things like Friends just make him laugh..

however, I agree that if you expose your daughter to dance and music now, she might get used to it and consider it normal. so when she is like 16, she wants to go to a disco.. I don't think you want that.
maybe there is another solution, something without music like gymnastics?
 
when you add bolly/holly or lollywood to anything then its most likely haram by nature lol.

Assalamu Alaikum
