Listening To Music In Ramadan by Lukgaf(m): 4:54am On May 08, 2020
Praise be to Allaah.

Listening to music is haraam, whether in Ramadaan or at other times, but it is more forbidden in Ramadaan, and is a greater sin, because fasting does not only mean refraining from eating and drinking, rather it means attaining piety or fear of Allaah, and it means that all the physical faculties should refrain from disobeying Allaah.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)”

[al-Baqarah 2:183]

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fasting does not just mean (abstaining) from eating and drinking, rather fasting means (abstaining) from idle and obscene talk…”

Narrated by al-Haakim who said: This hadeeth is saheeh according to the conditions of Muslim.

The saheeh Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) clearly indicates that listening to musical instruments is haraam.

Al-Bukhaari narrated in a mu’allaq report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There will be among my ummah people who regard adultery, silk, pork and musical instruments as permissible…” Al-Tabaraani and al-Bayhaqi said that this was a mawsool report.

This hadeeth indicates that musical instruments are haraam in two ways:

1 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “[they] will regard… as permissible.” This clearly indicates that the things mentioned are haraam, but those people will regard them as permissible.

2 – Musical instruments are mentioned in conjunction with things that are definitely haraam, namely adultery (zina) and alcohol. If it were not haraam it would not have been mentioned alongside them.

See al-Silsilah al-Saheehah by al-Albaani , hadeeth no. 91.

The believer should make the most of this blessed month and turn to his Lord. He should repent to Allaah and give up haraam things that he was in the habit of doing before Ramadaan, so that Allaah might accept his fast and set his affairs straight.

And Allaah knows best.

Music is haram. Kollywood should be shut down and all northern musicians should be stoned to death. Those northern politicians that played music during their campaigns including Buhari, Ganduje and so on should all be burnt alive according to Prophet Mohammed (peace be with him)

Islam is not birthed in the North and they have no superiority over any other part of the country.


Now we know your level of ignorance.

Why does it seem everything looks slavish here?
Some of our muslim counterpart here down south listen to good music that even the christians cannot but dance to.
I mean meaningful music during this fast.

There is one idiot up there called ilovepmb proposing burning on the stakes for people who don't comply to their own archaic ways of doing things

Same reason why adultery is prohibited in the Bible yet some Christians are fully indulged in it. One time I heard a prostitute in a motel shouting Jesus Jesus yet she is in the worst place doing the most absurd job someone should indulge in.

Religious fanatics are the most confused set of people. They can ban alcohol in the north but can play and dance to music which is still a haram according to Koran.

Assalamualaikum..... I have questions

I read one hadeeth in mukhtarul hadeeth where prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said: 'A'alinuu hāza nnikah, waj a luhu fil masājid, waddribuu bi ddufuf' I can't really say the number of the Hadith because it's been long I read it and I didn't have one with me here.
Now my question is with that *ddufuf* can one beat it without music? Or is the Hadith not sohih?
And what about those arabic music?

Just like almost everything in Islam, intention is key.
Al-Qurtubi has mentioned in his commentary on the
Qur’an al-Jami al-Ahkam al-Quran the singing of
some Qusharites in the presence of the Prophet the
day he entered Madina. Abu Bakr was disturbed by
this and the Prophet said, “leave them Abu Bakr so
that the Jews can see that our way is expansive.”
They were playing drums and saying, “we are the
girls of al-Najjar and we love that Muhammad is a
neighbor”. Al-Qurtubi then said, “it is said that the
tambourine and other instruments used in weddings
are permissible as long as what is said is sound
and not from foulness.”

As you can see, the point here is the aim of the music, the intention. Would you call a man singing the 99 names of Allah as committing Haram?
Imam al-Ghazali has also written that “if musical
instruments have become the sign of drunkards or
lewdness, if the instruments are like the harmonica,
wind instruments, string instruments, or drums used
by drinkers then it is impermissible."

As such, music that is particularly vulgar or
inappropriate is seen as a distraction from Islam and the fulfillment of duties. This view is also supported by the fact that the modern musical industry of today deviates significantly from Islamic teachings. Today you can hardly listen to a track without hearing profanities or talks about going down with someone else.

I found that most scholars agree that singing is permissible during certain occasions such as Eid
and weddings, and that some scholars even
assert that singing as an activity that brings
enjoyment is permissible as long as the activity
does not encourage non-islamic actions such as
drinking or unnecessary mingling amongst members of the opposite sex.

We should also remember the verse which goes:
"Surely, the hearing
and the sight and the heart, all of these shall be
questioned about that?" (Surah Bani Isra'il 17:36)

Music during Ramadan is an issue on its own. Deviating from the constraints of the fast is the same as doing no fast.
And Allah knows best.
