If music is haram then 99.5% of Muslims...?

Question

If music is haram then 99.5% of Muslims...?

Answer 1

How do you know 99.5% of Muslims listen to music....unless you carried some sort a survey?



And even if 99.5% of Muslims did listen to music, then so be it, it doesn't change the fact that it's a sin.



There are Hadiths concerning this matter, and they are Sahih, and if you want to listen to music then go ahead, that's your own business.

Answer 2

The actions of the Muslims do not indicate the permissibility of that action.



For the ruling on Music in Islaam:

Ishaaq ibn ‘Eesaa at-Tibaa’ said



سألت مالك بن أنس عما يترخص فيه أهل المدينة من الغناء ؟ فقال : إنما يفعله عندنا الفـُسـّـاق



((I asked Maalik bin Anas about the position of the people of Madeenah on singing so he said: “Indeed those people who do this with us are the (rebellious) sinners“))

Answer 3

Where did you get that number from? No one asked me to participate in any survey.



I get judged by Allah subhana wata'ala, not another human.

Answer 6

who says idle talk refers to music and singing??? who are we to say, living over 1400years past since the Prophet (pbuh), an explanation was given then. that explanation has been passed down:-





There are numerous evidences in the Qur’an and Sunnah which support this view. We will attempt to look at a few:



1) Allah Most High says:



“And there are among men, those that purchase idle tales, to mislead (men) from the path of Allah and throw ridicule. For such there will be a humiliating punishment.” (Surah Luqman, V. 6)



The great Companion Sayyiduna Abd Allah ibn Mas’ud (Allah be pleased with him) states in the explanation of the word “idle tales”:



“By Allah its meaning is music.” (Sunan al-Bayhaqi, 1/223 & authenticated by al-Hakim in his Mustadrak, 2/411)



Imam Ibn Abi Shayba related with his own transmission that he (Ibn Mas’ud) said: “I swear by Him besides Whom there is no God that it refers to singing.” (132/5)



The great Companion and exegete of the Qur’an, Sayyiduna Abd Allah ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) states:



“The meaning of the word is music, singing and the like.” (Sunan al-Bayhaqi, 1/221& Musannaf Ibn abi Shayba, 132/5)



He also stated:



“Music and the purchase of female singers.” (Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba, 132/5)



Hasan al-Basri (Allah be pleased with him) said:



“This verse was revealed in relation to singing and musical instruments.” (Tafsir ibn Kathir, 3/442)



The same explanation has also been narrated from Mujahid, Ikrima, Ibrahim Nakha’i, Mak’hul and others (may Allah be pleased with them all).



The above verse of the Qur’an, along with the statements regarding its meaning is clear in the prohibition of music. It also serves as a severe warning for those who are involved in the trade of music in any way, shape or form, as Allah warned them of “Humiliating punishment”.



As for those that say, the verse refers to things that prevent one from the remembrance of Allah and not music, they do not contradict the aforementioned explanation. The interpretation of the verse with “things that prevent one from the remembrance of Allah” is a more general interpretation which includes music and song, as one of the foremost things that stop you from the remembrance of Allah is music. This is the reason why the majority of the exegetes of the Qur’an have interpreted the verse with music only, or with all those acts that prevent one from the truth with music being at the forefront.



2) Allah Most High says whilst describing the attributes of the servants of the Most Compassionate (ibad al-Rahman):



“Those who witness no falsehood, and if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable avoidance.” (Surah al-Furqan, V. 72)



Imam Abu Bakr al-Jassas relates from Sayyiduna Imam Abu Hanifah (Allah be pleased with him) that the meaning of “falsehood (zur)” is music & song. (Ahkam al-Qur’an, 3/428)



3) Allah Most High said to Shaytan:



“Lead to destruction those whom you can among them with your (seductive) voice.” (Surah al-Isra, V.64)



One of the great exegete, Mujahid (Allah have mercy on him) interpreted the word “voice (sawt)” by music, singing, dancing and idle things. (Ruh al-Ma’ani, 15/111)



Imam Suyuti (Allah have mercy on him) quoted Mujahid as saying: “Voice (in this verse) is singing and flute.” (al-Iklil fi istinbat al-tanzil, 1444)



Another exegete, Dahhak (Allah have mercy on him) also interpreted the word “Sawt” with flutes. (Qurtubi, al-Jami` li Ahkam al-Qur’an, 10/288)



Here also, a general interpretation can be given, as indeed some commentators of the Qur’an have done, but this, as mentioned earlier, does not contradict the meaning given by Mujahid and Dahhak, as it is included in the more broad and general meaning.

Br. Pleease be careful of what you say! Allah may hold it against you on the day of judgement.

Allah says in the qur'an:-



Surah AL-AHZAB, verse 36: "It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path"







May Allah guide us to the truth, and give us all good understanding.

Answer 7

why do people always try to find their way around something to make something that has been prohibted halal. i mean what is your problem. can't you just accept that fact instead of always questioning things. if you don't think the Qur'an is clear enough go and read hadiths.

Answer 8

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“[Allaah said to Iblees:] And befool them gradually those whom you can among them with your voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other call for Allaah’s disobedience)…” [al-Israa’ 17:64]

It was narrated that Mujaahid (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “And befool them gradually those whom you can among them with your voice” – his voice [the voice of Iblees/Shaytaan] is singing and falsehood



========================



MUSIC IS HARAM:



The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments…” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari ta’leeqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsool by al-Tabaraani and al-Bayhaqi. See al-Silsilah al-Saheehah by al-Albaani, 91).



Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: And concerning the same topic similar comments were narrated from Sahl ibn Sa’d al-Saa’idi, ‘Imraan ibn Husayn, ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr, ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas, Abu Hurayrah, Abu Umaamah al-Baahili, ‘Aa’ishah Umm al-Mu’mineen, ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib, Anas ibn Maalik, ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Saabit and al-Ghaazi ibn Rabee’ah. Then he mentioned it in Ighaathat al-Lahfaan, and it indicates that they (musical instruments) are haraam.



=================



ABOUT LISTENNING TO MUSIC EVERYWHERE, BUT YET NOT EARNING SINS HOW?



It was narrated that Naafi’ (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Ibn ‘Umar heard a woodwind instrument, and he put his fingers in his ears and kept away from that path. He said to me, O Naafi’, can you hear anything? I said, No. So he took his fingers away from his ears and said: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he heard something like this, and he did the same thing. (Saheeh Abi Dawood). Some insignificant person said that this hadeeth does not prove that musical instruments are haraam, because if that were so, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have instructed Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) to put his fingers in his ears as well, and Ibn ‘Umar would have instructed Naafi’ to do likewise! The response to this is: He was not listening to it, but he could hear it. There is a difference between listening and hearing. Shaykh al-Islam (Ibn Taymiyah) (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Concerning (music) which a person does not intend to listen to, there is no prohibition or blame, according to scholarly consensus. Hence blame or praise is connected to listening, not to hearing. The one who listens to the Qur’aan will be rewarded for it, whereas the one who hears it without intending or wanting to will not be rewarded for that, because actions are judged by intentions. The same applies to musical instruments which are forbidden: if a person hears them without intending to, that does not matter. (al-Majmoo’, 10/78).

Ibn Qudaamah al-Maqdisi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: the listener is the one who intends to hear, which was not the case with Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both); what happened in his case was hearing. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) needed to know when the sound stopped because he had moved away from that path and blocked his ears. So he did not want to go back to that path or unblock his ears until the noise had stopped, so when he allowed Ibn ‘Umar to continue hearing it, this was because of necessity. (al-Mughni, 10/173)

(Even though the hearing referred to in the comments of the two imaams is makrooh, it was permitted because of necessity,



============================



ABOUT FAYROUZ AND OTHER MUSIC WITH NO SWEARING:



you find that those who have gotten used to it and for whom it is like food and drink will never have the desire to listen to the Qur’aan or feel joy when they hear it, and they never find in listening to its verses the same feeling that they find when listening to poetry. Indeed, if they hear the Qur’aan, they hear it with an inattentive heart and talk whilst it is being recited, but if they hear whistling and clapping of hands, they lower their voices and keep still, and pay attention. (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 11/557 ff)

Some say that music and musical instruments have the effect of softening people’s hearts and creating gentle feelings. This is not true, because it provokes physical desires and whims. If it really did what they say, it would have softened the hearts of the musicians and made their attitude and behaviour better, but most of them, as we know, are astray and behave badly.





======================



SALAM.

Answer 9

Any talk that is not beneficial to anyone in terms of Rememberance of Allah and Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wa Sallam ) and the Walis of Allah, that talk is never beneficial .

Answer 10

..."And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allah…"



I don't listen to music with Cursing and It's not misleading me? So according to this you can listen to music as long as it doesn't mislead you from God...



So...Nuff' Said??

Answer 11

i will say that only about all of song isn't haraam and ehre is why: ?Idle thoughts would not advise song. ? If that have been the case, then showering is haram, weddings are haraam, events are haraam, each and every thing that's no longer religious is haraam. ?Allaah despatched the Zabur to Dawwod 'alayhi salaam, in that's a lot making a track and what you may call song. actual, Allaah could have mentioned something approximately it.

Answer 12

Honestly I do listen to music. But it doesn't change the fact that its haram. It causes distraction and leads to dancing which is why I don't go to clubs anymore cuz everyone is getting their freak on. People have mtv and bet on 24/7 which I don't anymore. I just listen to maybe 3 songs a day if I'm in the mood. Doesn't mean its right.

Answer 13

If it indeed does say "idle talk," then would not music with a purpose not be idle at all? For instance, "Happy Happy Joy Joy" would be idle talk, but the Star Spangled Banner is not.

Answer 14

The fact that the majority of the middle-east listens to music does not justify it.



Just because that's how it is, does not mean that's how it should be.

Answer 15

Not necessarily when all people doing it, it is the right thing.



Ask yourself bro!

Answer 16

Yes that's why Muslims are in great trouble although they are in great number.If they again moved towards their Holy Book ''Al-Quaran'' they will again regain their power.So,dont forget this too.

Thanks.

Answer 17

I agree with asker . . .



anyways, wether u wanna or not, you'd still and still hear music! Its everywhere...



And unless u dont get carried away with it, i dont think theres a problem...

Answer 18

السؤال: هل هناك روایات في تحریم الغناء و الموسیقی؟

الجواب: ورد تحريم الاستماع والإنصات الى الغناء والموسيقى المحرمة في السنة الشريفة. فقد قال رسول الله (ص) في حديث شريف له: «ويحشر صاحب الغناء من قبره أعمى وأخرس وأبكم ، ويحشر الزاني مثل ذلك ، ، ويحشر صاحب المزمار مثل ذلك ، وصاحب الدف مثل ذلك ».



وقال (ص) : «من استمع الى اللهو (الغناء والموسيقى) يذاب في أذنه الأنك (الرصاص المذاب) يوم ا لقيامة».



وقال (ص) : «الغناء والموسيقى رقية الزنى» أي وسيلة أو طريق يؤدي الى الزنى.
