For example, the hadith about Prophet Mohammed not wanting to wake his cat.

I do not think I have ever come across such an hadith.

I think I can remenber hearing that story a long time ago. It was used as an example of the extremely kind nature of the prophet (saw) to even animals. Thats if the story is true though

What is the Islamic approach to music, singing, dancing, etc.


Are these frowned on?

Yes. Dancing is haram in Islam.
As for singing, women are forbidden from publicly singing because their voices could cause fitna (tempation) to men. Men are allowed to publicly sing though.
Music generally is kind of allowed. Kind of allowed in the sense that music in which some musical instruments are used is forbidden. Some of such musical instruments are: piano, guitars, harp, xylophone etc. The generally accepted musical instrument in Islam is the Duff drum. So music which is accompanied by the Duff isn't haram.

thanks.

I've always seen female muslim musicians though, cant remember ever hearing music is supposed to be forbidden in Islam, save for nowadays when some nlers are questioning it.

can they sing if no men are present? Just curious.


on dancing, are there any muslim countries where nobody dances at all? I havent heard of any. Unless maybe afghanistan?

lastly, do strict muslims mind singing dancing and music done by non-muslims? What is the Islamic stance on this?

You're so welcome smiley
Yes, women can sing if no men are present. And on dancing; I don't think there is any country where nobody dances. it's just that Islamically, dancing is not allowed. It's an Islamic law but some people would choose to obey and others would choose to disobey it.
About singing and dancing done by non muslims; it's their life so they can do what they please with it but Muslims are not supposed to seek out such activities or performances by non muslims in order to derive entertainment. They are supposed busy themselves with the remembrance of Allah instead.

I'm sorry if I'm intruding o, but my question for you is this ma.

Have you ever thought of finding your way into the religion of islam for once? Or better still what would be your answer if I invite you to join in the practice of this beautiful deen?

I've come to realise that you have a rational view which has enhanced your good rapport with muslims here. You ask questions and accept or question answers modestly. It's caught my likeness, hence these questions. Thanks.

Its not really rapport you're seeing, folks are just being too polite to bid me good day, that's all.

I actually don't get along with a lot of people here but this section is currently one of the saner ones in the forum, so it isn't as rowdy as other parts. Almost like abroad sef, so to speak. You know, like when you compare nigeria to abroad.

As per converting, I wouldn't be in the section so often if I thought its my type people are looking for to convert to Islam.
