What is the ruling on listening to music at weddings?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We were invited to a wedding, and there was music there.
The Shaykh : Run, run, run on your feet.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. We ask this child: Is music forbidden or permissible, Grandfather? Permissible or forbidden?
The Shaykh : That is enough.
The questioner : In truth, it is forbidden. With us. This is the son of Hajj Dawud. One day there was a wedding at our place, and you know that women cannot be restrained by anything, especially at weddings. They put on music and started dancing. Of course, he stood up, and because he was taught by his father and the family environment that music is forbidden, he started shouting "Allahu Akbar." He said, "You are the elders, turn off the music, you elders." He started crying and left their place. He did not stop until they turned off the radio that had the music. What Allah willed. This is his son, he is four years old, the son of Hajj Dawud. A message from listening to music. It is practical disbelief. Yes, yes. Yes, this is Muhammad Dawud Ghaith, who is four years old, what Allah willed. I say that listening to music is disbelief. May Allah make him grow up with good growth. We listen to music with the disbelievers, and praise be to Allah. We ask Allah that our Lord complete for us the days in which we are. Amen. And may He preserve our Shaykh. May Allah keep you safe. May Allah preserve you. The people are on the correct paths. If Allah wills.
