Question:
What are now called Islamic songs, are they from the religion of the Sufis? And if we say so, are they a type of deviation from the Shari'ah of Islam?

Answer:
Yes, the songs are from those who claim that they are a means of da'wah (calling others to Islam) and that they are part of the religion. Whoever says that they are part of Islam or part of the religion has a resemblance to the Sufis, because the Sufis make the songs part of the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and draw near to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) through them. So whoever says that they are songs of Islam or of the religion has a resemblance to the Sufis and a type of deviation from the Shari'ah. A complete deviation that leads to disbelief? No. But it is that he has added to the Shari'ah what is not part of it. So there is a type of deviation.
The songs are from singing. They are from singing and they are from amusement. So they are not permissible.
