Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My brother has never listened to songs. When a fatwa from some of them appeared permitting singing, he said, “I want to listen to them, and it is on the conscience of that mufti.”
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. It is on your conscience, not on the conscience of that mufti. He bears what he has borne, and you bear what you have borne. Yes.
