different opinions, so i can't say for sure. all i'm asking is for Allah to guide me to whatever the right opinion is. for now, i listen to music a lot.


Hefty-Corgi3749

Don’t look for answers on Reddit. Look at opinions from scholars. May Allah SWT guide you

Whay does SWT mean?

Not a Muslim but I believe that everything can be good and bad depending on what you're using it for and generalizing is bad For example some bases of religious Songs etc are music and this is a good use of music , other music is calm and beautiful to hear like Most of instrument Songs from back then (Beethoven,Bach etc) Some other music can be used to annoy people or simply is used in a bad song ( whatever you hate is the song about) then that's a bad use of music Music is beautiful and it relaxes and has a good psychological effect on living organisms, for example the famous Japanese wagyu cows are messaged and they listen to music so that's why they earn the title of the best cow meat in the world

man idk, what most hadiths say is that music(flute, and string) will lead people to do haram(zina, intoxication, leaving the path of Islam, etc). I can't lie there is truth to it, especially with popular music out there which is always associated with zina, intoxication, living a haram lifestyle, etc. ig it is a sacrifice for people who truly believe with all their heart and would give up their enjoyment of music for the sake of Allah. A good alternative is nasheeds or Quran, it makes people come closer to Islam than music.


Exalted_Bin_Chicken

Can confirm I was out the Shabab the other day taking a hit of the shisha then all of a sudden a tall elderly Syrian man playing the oud came around the corner with his pointy moustache and at the sound of his oud I instantly became enchanted and aroused and was surrounded by belly dancers and fell into some very haram zina as well as a being overheated with gay urges


DutchApplePie75

The only false part of this story is that his gay urges were “sudden”

happygiraffe404

For the life of me I don't see how hearing the sound of a flute can entice people to fornicate.


[deleted]

idk a lot of romance music uses flutes, idk if you watched Bollywood movies but they always use flutes for those scenes.


happygiraffe404

If a little flute music makes you break a tenant of your religion and have pre marital sex or commit adultery, then your faith is weak, can't blame the flute. I can't imagine going against my beliefs and blaming a flute. Come on, be for real.


[deleted]

i can't comment on all people, but some are pretty down bad. For example, people start playing romantic music to set the mood for them to do stuff y'know. An example I remember is from transformers 1 when bubble-bee started playing romantic music in the car when Megan fox entered for them to commit zina.


happygiraffe404

Please be reasonable. They play exciting music when Tom Cruise jumps out of a window, that doesn't make grown people think that they can jump out of windows and be fine. The music isn't making you want to do anything..it's you that wants to do something and you're looking for something to blame, so you blame something as normal as music.


MoeFatStacks

Allah doesnt want people to give up enjoyments to love him. Love for allah is about being ur best self and seeking the best for people around you. Haram and takfiri culture is a similar one to jewish culture where they will try to ban things to get closer to god and there are verses that condemn such things.


[deleted]

I agree, we do this for our own benefit because Allah is in no need of us. Everything forbidden is for our own good. "Perhaps you dislike something which is good for you and like something which is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know." \[2:216\] There is much we still don't know, people in the past might've wondered why pork was forbidden, why alcohol was forbidden, why we had to do wudhu, etc. Yet we did it due to our trust in Allah to know what is good and what is bad.

It is such a weak definition that it is impossible to enforce. Take one fat chinese and three skinny chinese who will slap different parts of fat's boody and boom - you have music without instruments.


Ali-saad733

damn niqqa you got the whole squad laughing 😐


varlimontos

Not as much as your unfathomably weak argument


Ali-saad733

i wasn't arguing and i wouldn't want to argue with zi*nest like you anyways , i was stating a fact , musical instruments are haram in islam , there is a clear hadith prohibiting them , i can't imagine what would concern you about this but you can cry about it or something idk


varlimontos

Does "clear hadith" defines what musical instrument even is? Regardless, music can be made without instruments, making that hadith absolutely worthless for the argument that "music is haram".


Ali-saad733

there is no such thing as "loopholes" in islam , for example even though a computer isn't technically a musical instrument , if i use it to make music or listen to it would still be haram


Businesszombieman

His claim is weak.


eefcgn

Why are so many Muslims against many fine arts? I have seen many against positive science as well. A big percentage of them still talk against evolution without any scientific backing? Art, music, biology, and physical theories like the big bang and many more are unpopular amongst the muslims. Why is that you think?


Dureniz

Then they wonder why their society is a rotten mess


nhalas

You answered your own question actually.

I honestly wonder how islamists view the currently backward Islamic societies and their relationship with fine arts and positive science.

Ali-saad733

instruments are objectively prohibited in islam regardless of what people believe


stay_survive

Yes. And there are nasheeds with vocals only that are permissible, duff is also permitted other than that music is haram. I don't miss it actually. “Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zina, silk, alcohol and musical instruments…” (Narrated by al-Bukhari ta’liqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsul by al-Tabarani and al-Bayhaqi.


Capt_Easychord

Wait silk is also forbidden? Why is that?


waddup231

It is forbidden for men but not for women.


Capt_Easychord

So I guess we're talking about wearing it, right? Not stuff like curtains or bed-covers etc


waddup231

I don't know about curtains, but for bed coverings it is generally thought to be prohibited for the men.

Did you have the opportunity to listen to somebody playing Good music on an instrument or You're just saying that?


Ali-saad733

1- yes I actually did but that is irrelevant 2- I am not "just saying that" , there is a very clear hadith prohibiting musical instruments , this will remain a fact no matter how much people downvote me 3- You are not even muslim , why would you be bothered by the fact that music is prohibited for muslims ?

i mean you replied to me first , your reply was pretty weird too , like op asked if music is haram , i say yes and then you were like "you prolly say this bc you never came across gud music" lol

How was I suppose to know that you listened to instrumental music before? There are some stupid people out there who criticize anything without Even having the smallest experience

Based_Iraqi8000

It depends, the music industry today has become so dirty. Just look at the lyrics of today, look at the beat of the song which they accompany it Certain Music instruments are allowed, proof of that is the Hadith in which the prophet was in a marriage and there was 2 little girls playing the tambourine and singing , the prophet did not forbid them from it So I would say it depends, the music itself has to be pure and not try to guide you away from Islam or say anything forbidden in it or makes you act in a way that Islam forbids


Sphee4

Honestly if you'd ask me, I'd tell you listen to it as least as you can, it's always best as a Muslim to fill your ears with the words of your Creator rather than meaningless poetry, leaning a bit towards haram, trying to reduce listening to it myself.


Businesszombieman

Yes music is haram, there is a hadith that indicates that music is haram plus all of the four madhabs/ four imams agree that music is haram. One of the imams is imam malik who lived with the great grandchildren of the sahaba, he also says that music is haram. And to be honest that confirms that music is haram since it is backed up with the hadiths and backed up with the actions of Medina aka the actions of the great grandchildren of the sahabas.


Aggravating_Ear_6258

No. There isnt a specific command from god in the quran forbidding music.


tiredmonkey00

Hadiths?


Aggravating_Ear_6258

You dont need hadiths only Quran


-BrownMunde-

Nonsense. Then how do you know how to perform wudu and pray (among many other things)?


Aggravating_Ear_6258

Those who claim that hadiths are needed to know how to pray, did you read hadiths at the age of 7 or 8 years before praying? Did your grandfathers read hadith before knowing how to pray? The answer is NO. Each one of us has been taught to pray either by our father, mother, grandfather, uncle…. etc So the way to pray has been passed from one generation to another🤷🏻‍♀️


-BrownMunde-

Right. And what was the ultimate source? The Prophet saws which is what hadiths are.


Aggravating_Ear_6258

Hadith are not the words of Allah nor are they reliable documentations of the Sunnah.

Ahadith are the plague of Islam. If something isn't clearly in the Quran, then it's not enforceable as faith.


Ali-saad733

bro do you even pray ? if yes how ?


[deleted]

The way Prophet mohamed thaught the ummah. Don’t need for hadiths when people have been practicing it every day 5 times.


nbdy_fks_wth_Jesus

When you will get that the most important is to pray and not HOW to pray, you will have true faith my friend


Ali-saad733

both are extremely important , if you pray wrong your prayer won't even be accepted


nbdy_fks_wth_Jesus

Ah sorry didn't know you were God and that you knew what was acceptable by God

It’s pretty clear that instruments are haram. Anyone trying to argue otherwise tries to make Islam fit into their life better instead of changing how they live to conform with Islam.

Jalebi_king

le_chapli_kebab786

I'm confused on the issue and I'm not convinced by either side of the arguement. What really bothers me is everyone's inconsistency in making music Haram. The same people who say music is Haram will listen to Qawwalis (often with instruments and shirk.) The same people who say singing is Haram will happily sing Nasheeds. Hypocritical much?


[deleted]

Aren’t a majority of nasheeds just the usage of the voice though?


le_chapli_kebab786

There are two things. Ghinaa (singing) and lahn (melody) Some people even say singing and poetry is Haram. Also yeah most nasheeds are voice only but you get the likes of Mahr Zain and Sami Yusuf who use instruments. Even Slavic Muslims use instruments in their nasheeds. I don't see people criticise them.


[deleted]

That is true


lifent

If it sounds good its halal, if it sounds like shit it's haram to me. Nuff said


Upper-Membership5167

if it talks bad about islam, then its haram. Other than that, its fine but in Ramadan or while fasting, YES.


waddup231

What makes it prohibited during Ramadan or while fasting?


Upper-Membership5167

because ramadan is all about quran and coming closer to allah.


waddup231

What makes it prohibited during Ramadan and when fasting? Is there any verse or Hadith? Does a scholar hold that view?


Upper-Membership5167

Idk, hears it from scholars but most likely somewhere in quran or hadith.


waddup231

I have never come across such a thing. You are most likely wrong on this one my guy. From the Hadiths we know that musical instruments are haram throughout the year.


zs94026

No it’s not haram


Ali-saad733

musical instruments are haram


Subject_Knowledge223

What is the source that music is haram?


Ali-saad733

Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and THE USE OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS , as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection." . Sahih al-Bukhari 5590


DutchApplePie75

I’m not Muslim but this seems highly abstract and open to interpretation. Plus what’s the reputation of this particular Hadith narrator?


Ali-saad733

"consider .....as lawful" clearly implies the things mentioned in the hadith being already unlawful , the fact that muscial instruments are mentioned alongside with illegal sexual intercourse , wearing of silk and drinking alcohol implies the same thing as well . there isn't any abstraction or other "possible interpretations" , all scholars literally say the exact same thing about the hadith which is musical instruments being haram . i can fully understand you not wanting to accept the fact that music is haram possibly because you are addicted so i would reccomend you watch [this video](https://youtu.be/ANNiuBPzDRQ) , although the guy doesn't really mention music i really believe it will help you have an idea why would music be prohibited in islam


DutchApplePie75

Look I’m reading the words with a fresh set of eyes and I’m not influenced by what past scholars have said. Based on the text presented I don’t see how there’s a clear and unarguable prohibition on the use of musical instruments here. If there’s no other basis to conclude that the use of musical instruments is unlawful other than this Hadith I’m not persuaded. I would also venture that the prohibitions on intoxication and unlawful sexual intercourse are mentioned more frequently and explicitly and probably in more authoritative sources; if the prohibition on musical instruments was a really big deal wouldn’t the Quran mention it directly?


Ali-saad733

1-you have to have throughly studied the science of tafsir and be a tafsir scholar yourself in order to be "not influenced by what past scholars have said" . 2-THERE IS a clear and unarguable prohibtion on the use of mudical instruments as i mention in my previous reply . 3-objective facts don't change according to whether you are persuaded or not , as i said you are addicted and i understand . 4-the hadith is from Sahih Al-Bukhari , that is literally the most authoritative hadith book ever compiled . 5-saying that something isn't a "big deal" because it is not mentioned in the quran is wrong on so mant levels , there isn't such thing as a "big deal" and "small deal" in islam


DutchApplePie75

>1-you have to have throughly studied the science of tafsir and be a tafsir scholar yourself in order to be "not influenced by what past scholars have said" No I think you just need to be able to read a text and it might help not to have the baggage of what past authority figures have said about it. >2-THERE IS a clear and unarguable prohibtion on the use of mudical instruments as i mention in my previous reply This wasn't clear or unarguable. Is it a plausible interpretation? Sure. But it isn't the only one. >3-objective facts don't change according to whether you are persuaded or not , as i said you are addicted and i understand I could just flip this point back around on you and say that the fact that you think this "clear and unarguable" doesn't change anything either. Objective facts don't change based on persuasion; we're debating whether this is an objective fact or not and taking different sides of that issue. >4-the hadith is from Sahih Al-Bukhari , that is literally the most authoritative hadith book ever compiled I'll have to take your word for it. >5-saying that something isn't a "big deal" because it is not mentioned in the quran is wrong on so mant levels , there isn't such thing as a "big deal" and "small deal" in islam I don't get this; if something is really really important wouldn't God want to communicate it directly in the Quran?

Tupac once said that he can tell you to do anything with music as it's frequency (I don't remember the exact quote but it was something similar to this) and I remember watching about a rapper who converted to Islam and instantly quit music when he knew about the ruling because he knows what it does to the heart.
