Question:
This questioner asks: What is the ruling on the Islamic nasheeds (religious songs) that are widespread today?
Answer:
There are no such things as Islamic nasheeds; nasheeds are not Islamic. Nasheeds are from the practices of the Sufis, from songs, and from the music that people take pleasure in. Calling them Islamic is a mistake; they are not Islamic, and it is not permissible to listen to them. Whoever wants to listen should listen to the Book of Allah, to the recitation of the Qur'an, and to the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), so that he may benefit and profit. As for nasheeds, what does one benefit from them except taking pleasure in the melodies and taking pleasure in the voices? And this is not from Islam. Yes.
