Q3: What are the musical instruments that are forbidden in the noble Shari'ah, listed with evidence? And what are the musical instruments that are permissible in the noble Shari'ah, if any, with evidence? Please provide this to us, may Allah reward you with good. If you have books on amusement and singing in Islam, I am ready to read them, with my great thanks.
A3 : All instruments of amusement are forbidden, and they must be destroyed, whether they are musical instruments or otherwise. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 5590 It was narrated by al-Bukhari in (Sahih) as a suspended hadith with a form of certainty, and it was narrated by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah in (Sunan), and Abu Bakr al-Isma'ili in (Sahih). And Allah knows best. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
