What is your opinion regarding listening to Islamic songs?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You ask and say: What is your esteemed opinion regarding listening to the songs known as Islamic songs?
The Shaykh : I cannot issue a general ruling on them because they vary:
If they are produced in the manner of low, vulgar songs, they are forbidden. If they have beautiful voices that captivate the listener, they are forbidden.
If they contain false meanings, they are forbidden.
If they are accompanied by drums or music, they are forbidden.
Therefore, I cannot issue a general ruling on them as either permissible or forbidden until I look at what this tape contains.
However, listening to the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), the Prophetic hadiths, sermons, and jurisprudential rulings is better than them.
