Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There is something called Islamic anthems, in which they imitate the sound of musical instruments. Is this a form of deception and forbidden stratagems?
Answer:
O my brothers, there are no Islamic anthems. There are anthems, yes, but they are not Islamic. These are the slogans of the partisan sects and parties, or the slogans of the Sufis. Anthems are only found among the Sufis or among the parties and partisan groups, where some of them encourage one another in them. Yes.
