What is called Islamic anthems: the introduction of music into them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: We present to your Eminence a question regarding the transformation that has spread in these days in some of what is called Islamic anthems, where some people introduce the sounds of certain musical devices via a
computer, and the listener of these sounds does not distinguish between them and what comes from musical instruments, and those who produce these anthems state that these sounds are merely sound effects.
A: The sounds accompanying the anthems called sound effects, which are introduced into them and resemble music, such that the listener does not distinguish between them and playing a musical instrument, have the ruling of musical instruments. Therefore, listening to them is forbidden, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Luqman 31:6] , and "idle talk" is singing, as interpreted by Ibn Mas'ud and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). In (Sahih al-Bukhari ), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 5590 The meaning of "fornication" is unlawful sexual intercourse, and the meaning of "musical instruments" is singing and instruments of amusement, and the meaning of "they make lawful" is that they do them as one who makes them lawful, without any regard.

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍFrom among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful.
