The Ruling on Islamic Nasheeds

Imaam ash-Shaafi'ee (d.241H) -- rahimahullaah -- in al-Umm (6/209), "Indeed, music is makrooh (His statement 'makrooh' means that it is unlawful, since this is what it meant amongst the early people) amusement resembling falsehood. And whosoever listens to it much, then he is an idiot (safeeh) whose testimony is to be rejected."

Shaykh 'Abdul Muhsin al-'Abbaad said,

"A person should spend his time with what will give him good in return in this life and the life after this. Let him occupy himself with remembrance of Allaah, read the Qur'aan and beneficial books. Moreover, it is also fine to listen to beneficial poetry which urges to noble character and good adab. But as for these Anasheed which are listened to in these times, and which are sung in choirs to thereafter be recorded and sold, one should neither listen to them nor care about them (i.e one should ignore them)."

(al-Qawl al-Mufeed fee Hukm-il-Anaasheed, p. 70)

Question: Noble Shaykh, Muhammad Saalih al-'Uthaymeen, as-Salaam 'alaykum wa rahmatullaahe wa-barakaatuhu. Is Islaamic inshaad (singing/chanting) permissible for men? And is it permissible to accompany inshaad with the playing of the duff? Is inshaad permissible for other than `Eeds and parties?,

Response: In the Name of Allaah, All Gracious, All Merciful, as-Salaam 'alaykum wa rahmatullaahe wa-barakaatuhu. Islaamic inshaad is an innovation, resembling that which the Soofiyyah (Soofees) have invented. Because of this, it is befitting to abandon this for the message of the Qur.aan and Sunnah. O Allaah, were it that this had occurred on the battlefield then it would motivate courage and Jihaad in the Path of Allaah, the Almighty. Then this is good. And if the duff is used along with this, then this is (venturing) further from that which is correct. , Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen al-Bid'u wal-Muhdathaat wa maa laa Asla lahu - Page 229; Fataawa fadheelatush-Shaykh Muhammad as-Saalih al-'Uthaymeen - Volume 1, Page 134

salamualaykum
the fatawa by sh. uthaymin and sh. abdulmushin are enough to me, i used to listen to them zain bikha and native deen, but native deen lyrics are good but they used instrument in fact at a time i felt i was giving the whole nasheed stuff too much time, i could listen to qunut, dua, or even a lecture this time, and the turh be told some of the so called nasheed artist are going far overboard, its better we totally abandon these things, it takes some time and courage. we used to argue that its better than the kuffar music, but if you give it (nashed) time you see that there is actually no benefit. may Allah make it easy.
 
Would your intention matter in this case? Because when I listen to Native Deen or other nasheed groups, I try to understand their meaning and implement it.
From listening to Native Deen, I decided to start blogging on Islam on non-Muslim forums and it helped me decide to wear a hijab. In a way, it has also strengthened my faith.

Good intentions do not make a Haram act permissible in any way.
Example: stealing an item then giving it away in charity won't make it ok, nor will there be any reward. Likewise, music is also Haram and mixing it in with the words/praises of Allah/Islam does not make it permissible.
There are plenty of Islamic nasheeds you can listen to instead :)
