The ruling on using the poetry of the Companions as evidence for recitation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people have cited the verse of poetry that was said, “O Allah, there is no good except the good of the Hereafter, so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirun,” as evidence for the permissibility of recitation in general. He says: Is this strong evidence?
Answer:
Recitation is not the same as anthems, my brother. Anthems are collective and melodic. As for recitation, it is when one person recites poetry, such as driving camels on a journey, or men who are working and recite to energize themselves for the work. There is no harm in this; it is a need, and it contains no frivolity and no prohibition. Yes.
