Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on engaging in listening to nasheeds in Ramadan and forming a group for that purpose?
Answer:
There is no power nor strength except in Allah. These nasheeds are among the symbols of the Sufis. The innovating Sufis are those who engage in nasheeds, draw near to Allah through them, and consider them part of the remembrance of Allah. As for the people of the Sunnah, they do not engage in nasheeds; rather, they engage in reciting the Qur'an, and in the remembrance of Allah through tasbih, tahlil, takbir, and seeking knowledge. This is the affair of the people of the Sunnah and the community. As for the Sufis, their dhikr consists of nasheeds, hymns, melodies, drumming, and the like.
