The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people cite the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) reception of the people with the song "The Moon Has Risen for Us," as well as the reports of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) rajaz poetry.
The Shaykh:
The children who recite songs, just as they used to recite them during the festival, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would leave them alone because they are children who are not accountable. As for men and adult women singing, this is not permissible. Singing is forbidden.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Did you hear the maids? The maids are not the young ones, meaning, yes.
