Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, Your Eminence the Shaykh, a number of questions have come in asking about the ruling on Islamic anthems?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. Islamic anthems were not known in the past to be arranged in this style, with organized choral groups, soft voices, and breaking up the words for the sake of pleasure, to please the listeners. This was never known except among the Sufis, who consider anthems to be a form of worship, or among the partisans and members of groups who call people to their groups with these anthems. Yes.
