The Ruling on Islamic Anthems
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on listening to what is called Islamic nasheeds? And are there cases where the ruling differs from one to another?
The Shaykh:
We have said, and we continue to say and repeat, and others among the advisors say: there are no Islamic nasheeds. Nasheeds, yes, there are nasheeds, but they are called Islamic. What is the evidence that they are Islamic? If they are Islamic, they must be from Islam, and this requires evidence that they are from Islam. As for them being nasheeds, yes, they are nasheeds; they are nasheeds from singing, a part of singing, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
