Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is the one who deems singing permissible a disbeliever, and why?
Answer:
No, he is not a disbeliever, because it is a matter of scholarly disagreement. One does not declare a disbeliever the one who deems permissible what is disputed. The stronger, correct, and accurate position is that it is forbidden, but due to the existence of the disagreement, the one who deems it permissible is not declared a disbeliever. Yes, and this is the case with all matters of disagreement; the one who deems permissible what is disputed is not declared a disbeliever. Yes.
