What is called national songs and national poetry: Is it permissible to listen to them?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is called national songs and national poetry, is it permissible to listen to them?

Answer:
Reciting poetry and listening to it: it has been stated to you that it is permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) listened to poetry that was pure, wise, and containing proverbs and admonitions. There is nothing wrong with reciting it or listening to it, and there is nothing wrong with a poet composing it and reciting it. All of this is good. Poetry, as they say, is the chronicle of the Arabs. Poetry is the chronicle of the Arabs that recorded their glories, their boasts, their morals, their bravery, and their language. All of this is in solid Arabic poetry. It is not the weak poetry of today that they call free verse. This is not poetry; it is worthless, and it is imported from the disbelievers.
It has no language, no religion, no literature, and nothing at all. It is nonsense, nonsense, and trivial. The discussion is about correct poetry, the eloquent poetry, the metered and rhymed poetry. This is what is worth discussing. Yes.
