Islamic Anthems Free of Music

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Are the Islamic anthems free of music that are currently found in recordings considered religious innovations (bid'ah), or not? Because some people consider them means of calling people to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?

The Shaykh:
As for the anthems in terms of the poetry, if they are sound in their content, sound anthems for children or non-children, if they are Islamic and sound, containing no shirk (associating partners with Allah), no bid'ah (religious innovations), and no sins, then there is nothing wrong with them. Yes.

Another questioner:
Music.

The Shaykh:
The issue of poetry.

Another questioner:
And congratulations to you, you are in agreement with the idea and your discussions.

The Shaykh:
Meaning, they do it for an hour of time, a few times, and then they stop.

The questioner:
Take between the enthusiasm, also.

The Shaykh:
If there is no music with it, no lute, and no clothing, then it is not between them.

Another questioner:
This is one point.

The Shaykh:
From the bottom until he accepts it afterwards, if it is with the poetry or with the similar or the correction, then, if Allah wills. Yes.
