about one who repented from singing: what should he do with his recorded tapes?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a man, meaning a singer, what is his position regarding these songs that have spread in the markets? What do you say? What should he do?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory. He said: "Whoever sees the lesson in others, let him take heed." If a book is published that contradicts the policy of a person or a state, what does that state do?
The questioner : It is confiscated.
The Shaykh : It is confiscated, and this man is doing his best to confiscate them; because this is, of course, by agreement between him and the companies that invest in his songs. So he has done what he was able to confiscate from the market, and for what he was not able to, he repented to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and turned back to Him, but he does not enter into new contracts. This is the principle of His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):[At-Taghabun 64:16].
Yes.
