What is the ruling on Islamic nasheeds?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says:The questioner : What is the ruling on Islamic nasheeds?
The Shaykh : By Allah, my brothers, Islam has become a short wall that is easy to climb over. Everyone does something and says, "This is Islamic," while it is far from Islam.
Among those who permit riba (usury or interest), one says, "This is Islamic economy," and riba is said to be permissible because it is Islamic economy. Or they resort to ruses regarding riba through forms of sale that have no reality. But it is obligatory for a person, when asked a question, to say, "Present the matter to me; present it to me."
Islamic nasheeds must first be heard in order to rule on them. For this reason, it is said that the ruling on a thing is a consequence of its conceptualization. It is not permissible for a person to rule that something is haram (forbidden) or halal (lawful) until he has a clear conception of it.
As for Islamic nasheeds, I have not counted them, nor have I heard them, and I am unable to issue a ruling on them until I hear them. However, I give general rules: any nasheed accompanied by a musical instrument is haram (forbidden).
Any nasheed accompanied by a musical instrument is haram (forbidden), such as music, bells, and the like.
Any nasheed whose meaning or subject matter is vulgar is haram (forbidden).
Any nasheed containing seductive voices is haram (forbidden), even if it is called an Islamic nasheed, because everything that is a cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) is fitnah.
These are general rules, and I am unable to rule on every one of these things they call Islamic nasheeds until I hear them. Yes.
