Selling Religious Tapes and Producing Nasheeds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I have a shop for selling religious tapes, and I produce Islamic anthems and other things. What is the ruling on my selling them? May Allah preserve you and care for you.
Answer:
Do not sell Islamic anthems; there are no such things as Islamic anthems. These are song anthems, my brother. Say "anthems" and leave it at that; do not call them Islamic. There are no anthems in Islam; Islam has no anthems. This is a newly coined name. Anthems are generally either for the Sufis, because they worship through anthems, or for the partisans, those who have specific methodologies and encourage their followers to follow them through these anthems. So they are a slogan, either for the Sufis or for the partisans. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, and may Allah reward you with good,
