The ruling on listening to nasheeds during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Nadiya says: Is listening to nasheeds during prayer forbidden?
Answer:
It is not permissible to listen to nasheeds, neither in prayer nor otherwise, because they are a form of singing. Since they are a form of singing and musical entertainment, they are not permissible. Nasheeds come with collective, melodic voices. As for listening to pure, good poetry, there is nothing wrong with it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) listened to it from Ibn Rawahah and others among the Companions. In prayer, one does not listen to anything that distracts from the prayer other than the recitation of the imam. One listens to what distracts and occupies him from the prayer.
