The Ruling on Filming Islamic Anthems as Video Clips

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the ruling on filming Islamic anthems in what is called a video clip?

Answer:
What is it? A clip, a clip. Yes. You have afflicted us with these Islamic anthems; they have become, so to speak, part of the religion, whereas they are songs and entertainment. They are a slogan of the Sufis, who consider them part of the religion and part of dhikr (the remembrance of Allah). They are also a slogan of the partisans in this time, so you do not find anthems except among the partisans. They use them to encourage their methodologies and their work. So there is no good in them, no good in them, neither in a video clip nor in a video of 'Umar or Zayd. Yes.
