Answer 1

Ramadhan: you in a state of Ihram.

you are forbidden to listen to music, dance, engage in sexual activity, eat, drink, swear, curse.

Be as pure as possible.

In Ramadhan you are a guest in Gods house. You behave as best as you can and ask for anything you want.

Answer 2

pakistan is an islamic country, thats were im from; but i live in england and here many people while fasting listen to music. it is not haram and it doesn't say in the quran not too

Answer 3

Refrain from such trivial distractions especially throughout Ramadan but also throughout life in general.

Answer 4

in ramadan, you are supposed to be concentrating on being one-on-one with allah and your religeon.

music will take away from that.

so it is wrong to listen to music on such a good month.

Answer 5

I don't think there are any rule that forbid us to listen to music or watch movies in Ramadhan, as long as it is not the wrong kind of music or movies.

I suppose you wouldn't see an x*x movies, right?

We, the Moslems, knows the boundaries, we also know which one is right and which one is not. It all depends on what each person's faith in Ramadan.
