Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person used to listen to singing, then he repented to Allah from it, but melodies and some words still pass through his heart. What should he do to get rid of them?
The Shaykh:
He should persist in his repentance, increase in reciting the Qur'an and in the remembrance of Allah, and by the permission of Allah, it will be removed from him. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Because the Qur'an and songs do not coexist. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The love of the Qur'an and the love of the melodies of singing do not coexist in the heart of a servant.
