Music Haram or Not

[afriend]

exactly its like fasting... you do something for the sake of Allah alone not because you want people to know about it.. that will be shirk then. its just a small sacrifice you do for the sake of Allah. doesnt hurt much. not listening to music infact makes you feel more peaceful and healthy. you feel frustrated after you listen to music.

Yeah.....Exactly.

But, now for the paracetamol for getting rid of your love of music.

Try and find alternatives to music, such as Quraanic recitaions by your favourite imam(s) (This worked for me)!!!!

Or, you could try and listen to nasheeds(islamic songs)....Allah did not forbid music completely, it all.....just have be careful about the lyrics and what instruments are used.

 

[moujahid]

sami yusuf is teh best....
even though he uses alot of instruments it makes his songs effective and makes u feel the song...

as long as teh words are not bad... ui guess not \
cuz even if it has music instruments it still brings u closer to allah so how would somethign that brings u closer to allah b haram

btw a catholic christian became muslim because she heard his songs and they affected her

i dont think he is cool man..what type of muslim is he? he needs to learn basics of sharia then before singing nasheeds.
are u deciding what brings closer you to Allah? when Allah describes of our ownselves and the nature of al-Insaan? you should read some Qur'an where Allah talks about the nature of human beings. who has better knowledge than Allah about whats good for us and whats not? if Allah said -that is not the way to come closer to me- are you going to refute that? brother...those who dont follow Islam completely are following the steps of Shaitan and their desires.

you shud tell inform her of this rule of sharia that music is haraam. she is earning the anger of Allah by listening to music...the intentions should be right of every muslim

i dont think we should have a say if music is haram or not because im sure no one on this forum is a scholar
I myself dont listen to music because its a doubtful matter
the best thing to do is to study about this subject than to make comments such as

"i think music is..."

or

"music is probably..."

because comments such as these may confuse younger members on the forum
therefore we shud not give opinions but rather a reliable source

its good to give authentic hadiths ofcourse

How can you say "that music is haraam", what about the music that is performed at the concerts that feature Muslim artists on behalf of Islamic Reflief how can this be termed haraam when so much good will come out of it. i.e. money being raised to help the victims of earthquakes etc.,

 

[DaSangarTalib]

but bro some of the nasheedas have music in it(i mean they play musical instruments):hmm: is't haram too :hmm:

yea that is haraam, i dont listen to those types of anasheeds, and plus nasheeds aint all that, some are way too modernised and sound exactly like music e.g. sami yusuf stuff..also heres an intresting article you ppl need to read Insha'Allah...

Traps of Iblees

by Imâm Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

Five

If the Al-'Abd has prevented Iblees from trapping him at this level, he moves him to the fifth level:

The FIFTH LEVEL IS TO OCCUPY HIM WITH PERMISSIBLE THINGS that do not gain him reward or punishment. However, the punishment of this level is caused by passing the reward missed by being occupied with these deeds.

read other traps >> http://www.islaam.net/main/display.php?id=182&category=12

so dont get too occupied with nasheeds!

funny how we can ridicule the Laws of Sharia like this. its clear my friend that music is Haraam. there is no doubt in it. no doubt at all. if you think im wrong you can hold me accountable on the day of judgement Insha'allah. no one is confusing the youth. they should have a clear understanding of what is right and what is wrong.

we are not doubting the intentions of people. its not allowed to use harram to do something halal. there is no point in doing halal then. amazing things happen to muslims. this is one of the weird things ive heard that rock bands do concerts to generate money for helping people. its a joke really. i will never understand the mentality of these people.

Greetings,


So, let me get this straight - if I listen to Bob Marley, I'm doing wrong because I may go on and start listening to Britney Spears? That can't be right.

That's like saying that some people drive dangerously, therefore no-one should be allowed to drive - prevention is better than cure. Where's the sense in that?
Peace

Not everyone is like you though. Some people listen to metal and start doing drugs, even suicide & whatnot. And I did say drink-driving. is'nt prevention better than cure there? I think so.

May Allah guide us All..AMEEN!

 

[aamirsaab]

We have gone in a circle: how can Islamic music be allowed and not non-islamic music, it doesn't make sense. Czgibson is getting a lot of flak for no reason. Please stop doing this, he has done nothing apart from ask for an explanation with regards to the topic - if you have been somehow offended by any of his posts, go bash your skull against a wall.

Also, just saying Music is haram doesn't make it so. I don't care what the sheiks have to say on this, if it is written in the Quran and/or Sunnah then I will follow it, otherwise, I do as I wish.

Yes, but the majority of people who listen to heavy metal don't do these things.

And I did say drink-driving. is'nt prevention better than cure there? I think so.

So no-one should be allowed to drive?

Peace

have brothers and sister forgotten about this GENUINE hadith posted by Islam-Truth

Sahih Bukhari, No. 5226.
Abu'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: he heard the Prophet (SallAllahu alayhi wa Sallam) saying: From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercouse, the wearing of silk, the drinking, of alcohlic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful.

looks like something on those lines happening here, dont worry all this has already been said by our Prophet Muhammad (peace Be upon Him); that this is going to ocuur and other stuff, which in due time will soon...no doubt about that!

By saying music by 50 cent is halal, if that was the case wouldn't all Music be completely allowed in Islam? but im afraid as much as you hate it ALL MUSIC IS HARAAM!

 

[aamirsaab]

That's what I mean. Islamic music can't be halal if the ruling is that music is haram.

 

[*LJ*]

we dont need non-muslims telling us what to do. keep the disagreements with you. dont create fitnah here.

Salamu alaikum,

Bro, that was a bit out of order, czgibson was just trying to help. Notice the links were from other threads off this site on the same subject.

FORUM RULE:
12.This is not a Fiqh discussion board. Prolonged threads arguing over Fatwas and the details of Islamic law will be closed. Avoid asking questions that require a Scholar or Shaykh, as there is no one on the board qualified to answer your questions. Please use other knowledgeable means such as a scholar, Imam or knowledgeable person in your area or provide sources.


Scholars agree that we should not listen to music that goes against Islam (eg. music degrading women, promoting sex before marriage, violence etc.) Apart from this the scholars don't really agree on whether we shoudl listen to music or not and I don't think they ever will. I think this is one of those things we have to look at Quran and Sunnah and decide for ourselves.

This is a fiqh topic and we shouldn't be discussing it on here as it can create fitnah...

Salam

Islamic Music?? do u mean nasheeds??..if the nasheeds got musical instruments in then that is without a doubt Haraam from my view...like i said sami yusuf, yusuf Islam and may be others uses alot of instruments in their nasheeds, which i think is haraam and they shouldn't do that...i dont listen to them type of nasheeds anyway, so im safe! or should i say im not accumulating sins for listening to it.

 

[Kittygyal]
