Is it permissible to imitate someone with a beautiful voice?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Imitating some of the people of knowledge when one imitates their voice, is this considered backbiting?
The Shaykh : Why? His voice may be beautiful and his recitation of the Qur'an good. But if he is mocking him, that is a different matter.
The questioner : Out of love for him.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know. But if the one being imitated has a beautiful voice and good recitation, and he imitated him because he was pleased with him, there is nothing wrong with that.
