The Ruling on Melodizing Supplications, Composing Music for Them, and Melodizing Dhikr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on melodizing supplications and composing music for them, as well as melodizing the dhikr after the prayer?
Answer:
Improving the voice is fine; there is nothing wrong with improving the voice. As for composing music, meaning adding melodic ornamentation, this is not permissible, neither in supplication nor in anything else, because it turns the dhikr into songs, or even the Qur'an into songs. Yes.
