Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is the one who considers singing permissible a disbeliever, and why?
Answer:
No, he is not a disbeliever. It is a matter of scholarly disagreement. The one who considers permissible what is disputed is not declared a disbeliever. The stronger, correct, and accurate position is that it is forbidden, but due to the obligation regarding disagreement, the one who considers it permissible is not declared a disbeliever. This is the case with all matters of disagreement; the one who considers permissible what is disputed is not declared a disbeliever.
