The Ruling on Listening to Islamic Anthems
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: We are listening to what they call Islamic anthems.
Answer:
Listen to the Qur'an and to the dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and do not listen to the anthems, for they are among the songs and the amusement, and they are not Islamic. These are songs and Sufi anthems; they have become Sufi because they take the anthems as part of the religion and accompany them with drums as well, saying that this is worship. Have we not been lenient in these matters, considering them part of the religion, part of Islam, and part of the da'wah (calling to Islam), as they say? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
