The Difference Between Singing and Anthems
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there are many questions. They have presented to your eminence whatever of them was possible. This questioner says: Is singing in the era of the Salaf the same as the anthems known today? What is their ruling? And what is the difference between anthems with the hand drum and singing?
Answer:
Singing is known in the past and in the hadith. Singing is entertainment; it is entertainment through poetry, and melodic recitation through poetry, and chanting through poetry. This is singing, whether it is called anthems or not called anthems. It is all of it; all entertainment is singing, whether it is called anthems or called something else. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
