Discussion of those who consider musical instruments permissible.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The musical instrument is made of materials such as leather, wood, metal, and clay. It is well known that both the hand drum and the drum are made of the same materials. So why is the hand drum permissible and the drum forbidden? Hehehe.
The questioner : Who is being addressed, my Shaykh? Subhan Allah.
The Shaykh : This is like one of those afflicted with drinking intoxicants who said, "My brother, we eat grapes that ferment inside. What is the difference? Does it ferment inside or outside?" Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : One of them comes and writes an article saying that the operative cause of the Shari'ah rulings is apparent and explained. He says this ruling does not have an apparent operative cause, and therefore we cannot apply analogical reasoning and it is not consistent.
The Shaykh : He is just going around this matter. He says that previously they did not address the cause of the prohibition. And I see it as my right and the right of every Muslim to know the cause of this prohibition, if he is able.
