A Refutation of al-'Azali for His Permissibility of Listening to Music.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : This jurist has a book he titled, and what a good title it is, *Preventing the Common People from Listening to Music*. This title alone should have been enough to deter him from revealing what he permitted regarding his love for listening to musical instruments and songs, contrary to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):

There will certainly be people in my Ummah who will consider lawful fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments. They will spend their nights in amusement and play, and wake up the next morning transformed into apes and pigs.

ليكونن في أمتي أقوام يستحلون الحر والحرير والخمر والمعازف يمسون في لهو ولعب، ويصبحون وقد مُسخوا قردةً وخنازير

Yes.
