Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we are young men following the way of the Salaf, if Allah wills. We gather to attend the lessons of the great scholars and we memorize the Noble Qur'an. At the end of the school year, we go to the southern region, and during the journey, most of the time is spent on songs and poems that call to noble morals, beautiful deeds, and encourage seeking knowledge. Is this from the *hadaw* (travel chants) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to do?
Answer:
Reciting useful poems in language, jurisprudence, or wisdom. There is nothing wrong with reciting them. They were recited in the presence of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when they contained benefit for the people, and the reciter is one person. As for group recitation, group songs, no, that is not from the way of the people of the Sunnah and the community. Group songs are only with the Sufis. As for one person reciting a poem that contains benefits and they listen to him, there is nothing wrong with that. This is permissible. Yes.
