The ruling on the one who says that singers are eternal in the Fire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this person says that the one who sings and fights with songs is among those who are corrupt and are eternal, abiding in the Fire of Hell. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
One person says, "This is my longing, Islamic and truthful." Another says, "Singers are disbelievers." They are people of major sins whose faith is diminished, so they are disbelievers, if Allah wills, and Allah accepts their repentance. They call to the truth and abandon it, except that they are declared disbelievers, which is the position of the Khawarij.
