What about the songs of Michael Jackson? And what about the songs of Freddie Mercury? My mom told me that the songs of Michael Jackson does not lead you to do evil, it has good teachings such as no racism and some songs does not even have a message, just some random words and without logic. So, what do you say about them? Some songs are just made for fun like "who is the bad".
But, Electronic music, is it ok? Because, I used to listen and it does not have no message in it as far as I know.
Assalam o alaikum rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Still music are haram and can disturb one from remembering Allah.
If you like listening. Listen to nasheed, which is allowed by Islam.. As long as they follow shariah conditions. Sadly not all of them are halal.
https://islamqa.info/en/answers/911...d-the-conditions-of-nasheed-being-permissible
By studying the words of the scholars and trustworthy Shaykhs we may compile a list of guidelines and shar’i conditions which must be fulfilled for the nasheed to be permissible. That includes:
1.The words of the nasheed must be free of haraam and foolish words.
2.The nasheed should not be accompanied by musical instruments. No musical instrument is permitted except the duff for women on certain occasions. See the answer to question no.
20406.
3.It should be free of sound effects that imitate musical instruments, because what counts is what appears to be the case, and imitating haraam instruments is not permissible, especially when the bad effect is the same as that which happens with real instruments.
4.Listening to nasheed should not become a habit which takes up a person’s time and affects his duties and mustahabb actions, such as affecting his reading of Qur’aan and calling others to Allaah.
5.The performer of a nasheed should not be a woman performing in front of men, or a man with an enchanting appearance or voice performing in front of women.
6.One should avoid listening to performers with soft voices who move their bodies in rhythm, because there is fitnah in all of that and it is an imitation of the evildoers.
7.One should avoid the images that are put on the covers of their tapes, and more important than that, one should avoid the video clips that accompany their nasheeds, especially those which contain provocative movements and imitations of immoral singers.
8.The purpose of the nasheed should be the words, not the tune.
------
I understand that you do not trust Islamqa, but this fatwa is good.
Some nasheed are good and have message behind it in sha Allah. but you shouldn't make it habit as mentioned in the fatwa
On other way. Listening to Quran recitiation is way way far better.
JazakAllah khair
