Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this one is also asking. He says: I have a nasheed group, and it is the source of my livelihood and my children's. What is the Shaykh's view on that?
Answer:
The view is that this is not permissible. Nasheed is among the songs. Do not make this your profession or your means of seeking a livelihood. The doors of livelihood are many, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has made the doors of livelihood wide. So seek your livelihood in a profession other than this.[At-Talaq 65:2-3]. Yes.

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
