The Ruling on Anashid and Their Alternative to Songs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, it is not hidden that anashid are a lawful alternative to forbidden songs, but there has been an expansion in them to the extent that song lyrics and sound effects have been used, turning them into a type of singing. Do you have a comment on that?
Answer:
Who permitted that anashid are an alternative to singing and that it is permissible to do them? Who permitted this? Anashid are a type of song. I see that they should be left. The questioner also mentioned that they have developed into what is wrong, and that is what is feared. Do not leave anashid if you have a desire; read the Qur'an, listen to the Qur'an, and let your listening be to what is good and beneficial, not to anashid. Yes.
