Question:
The second question: I heard a statement, and I do not know if it is a hadith or what: (Singing is the provision of the rider). Please clarify this for us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not a hadith; rather, it is false speech. Singing is the incantation of Satan, and in reality, it is part of the idle talk that Allah forbade and warned against. It is that which diverts from the path of Allah and occupies hearts from taking pleasure in reading the words of Allah and listening to the words of Allah .
As for Arabic poetry in the Arabic language and with Arabic melodies, there is nothing wrong with it, provided it is in praise of good and condemnation of evil, in calling to Allah, in encouraging noble morals and good deeds, and in warning against bad morals and evil deeds, with Arabic melodies and Arabic poetry, not with the melodies of singing. This is permissible, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 5010Sahih (Al-Albani) He said, peace and blessings be upon him: Sunan Abi Dawud 5010Sahih (Al-Albani), and he heard the poetry of Ka'b ibn Zuhayr, the poetry of Ka'b ibn Malik, the poetry of Hassan, and others (may Allah be pleased with them) . Yes.
