Listening to Islamic anthems for the sake of repentance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: What is the ruling on one who says, “I listen to Islamic anthems for the sake of repentance, because they have an effect on the listeners”? And may Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
Why do you not listen to the Qur'an, which encourages repentance? Why do you not listen to the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? Do you not repent except through anthems? Where has the benefit from the Qur'an and the benefit from the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) gone? Do not cut off the anthems and turn to the Qur'an, turn to the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and turn to the words of the scholars. This is the path to steadfastness and repentance to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
