Another question prompted by comments in another thread. Is all music held to be un-Islamic? Some people have seemed to indicate so, and the Taliban certainly thought that music was un-Islamic. Yet I've seen and heard of plenty of Muslims who listen to and perform music. Who's right?

 

[Malaikah]

The vast majority of Islamic scholars, consider musical instruments to be forbidden. The only exception is a certain type of drum.
