Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Noble Shaykh, there are some anthems that contain a melody which may cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); what is their ruling?
The Shaykh : You must know a useful rule, which is that "anything that is a cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) must be prohibited". So, if these anthems contain fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) because they are sung with seductive voices, then it is obligatory to prohibit them.
Likewise, if they are sung like lewd songs and composed like lewd songs, then it is obligatory to prohibit them.
