Marching to Music in the Military Service
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I work in the military service, and they order us to march to music. What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. You must advise your superior and those with you; you and your brothers should advise him, saying to him: This is not permissible, and this is not appropriate. However, we will follow the instructions you want from us, other than music and other instruments of amusement, so that you may be good soldiers who benefit people through advice and guidance, and you guide those around you to good. Yes.
The questioner:
And what is missing a lot?
The Shaykh:
If you answered, the earth of Allah is vast. He can straighten out, he can straighten out and leave what is wrong. Yes.
