The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, is singing a means to unlawful sexual intercourse?
The Shaykh:
Yes, singing is called a ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), and it is one of the means to zina. Lust grows out of singing.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
If the singing contains intensity, passion, and love, and this is the majority of singing today. Most of the singing today is all about passion, love, describing beautiful women, and so on, then it is a means to zina. Yes.
