The ruling on writing poems praising tribes and listening to them

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on writing poems and praising certain tribes? Is it permissible to listen to them? Or are they a form of boasting?

Answer:
These are matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah): boasting about lineage, disparaging genealogies, and wailing over the dead. These are matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance and are to be abandoned. Boasting is not permissible. The Muslims are all brothers; they are all brothers. Indeed, the believers are brothers. Arousing these tribal sentiments and boasting is a matter of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and it is obligatory to put an end to it.
