The Ruling on Listening to Anashid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Abu 'Adil says: Honorable Shaykh, my children have become attached to anashid tapes, and they have become very common in our time, Honorable Shaykh, even though they recite some verses of the Qur'an in the gathering and at home. What is the Shaykh's opinion on that?
Answer:
These anashid are a form of amusement and are among the songs, and there is no need for them, especially if they occupy one from the remembrance of Allah and from reciting the Qur'an. My brother, the tapes that contain verses of the Qur'an, recordings of the Qur'an, recordings of sermons and exhortations, and what is of benefit are the ones that a Muslim should listen to. As for the anashid, what benefit does one get from them except for pleasing the ear and the like, or they may contain Sufi dhikr or contain partisan methodologies or the like. Yes.
