The Ruling on Listening to Girls' Nasheeds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: There are nasheeds in the market called Islamic nasheeds for children, sung by girls who are over twelve or thirteen years old. They are circulated in the market among young men. For example, we have a nasheed called "The Mother"; the girl singing it is approximately fifteen years old, and it is being circulated.
The Shaykh: But are they filmed, or are they just voices?The questioner: Just the voice.
Does this fall under the warning for those who listen to singing?The Shaykh: This is feared to lead to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); because if she is older, her voice will be attractive, so it is prohibited for this reason. The owner of the recording store who sells these tapes should be advised,And it is said: that what you earn from this is illicit and forbidden for you. If he stops, that is what is required; if he does not stop, the matter should be reported to the authorities.
