To the muslims who normally listen to music and say music is not haram?

Question

Do you listen to music during Ramadan? if not why not?

Answer 1

u r right sister, it's a kind of hypocrisy coz they listen to music 11 months and read QURAN just during Ramadan

may ALLAH guide us all

Answer 2

I don't during ramadan because my dad said its better to listen to Qur'anic recitations; but I have no idea why music during Ramadan would be haram: in no ways is music connected to wanting food.

It actually is better to listen to it so u can be distracted from being hungry or thirsty. It can also help u go to sleep.

But I honestly haven't listened to music in the last couple of months; I've been busy listening to recitations and memorizing Qur'an.

Dude, honestly, don't make assumptions, music is not haram.

Read Luqman {31:6}.

Answer 3

Music is haram because it has instruments in them usually and

during ramadan you shouldn't listen to it.

Answer 4

no, i don't listen to music during ramadan, coz i prefer to do something to get benifit from in this month so it 's speciality of this month let me not to listen to music during its days

this doesnot mean that i listen to music all the year moments but i like to listen to music every day nearly but not on top of my praying, studying or any thing in my life...

Answer 5

actually its best to litne to Quran during Ramadan. i listn to music in the car and stuff but whn its ramadan its quran. my dad says if you liten to music in ramadan you wont do ny good to your self so liten to quran so you wll get ajr, but i was forced to play my stupid trumpet last year. now i wont have to cuz its optional.

dude dont say that music is haram cuz  many muslim scientists believe music isnt haram while other disagree.

and about those sisters who put hijab during ramadan well they say yo get sins if you dont but it makes no diffrence.

i barly lite to music now. too busy with momorizing quraan and doing chores

Answer 6

:-)

You are right..There is no point in being seasonal muslims..During Ramdan,i spent more on Quran listening than music,bcoz its a holy month and i have grab as much as blessings as possible.But of course i listen to music when i feel tired ..It soothens my mind and drives away my thoughts of fightings;-)

Answer 7

Alhamdulillah i don't listen to music but for those who say music is not haraam(halal)

1 the prophet said the voice of shaytaan is music

2 the one who listens to music will have his ears burnt in the h**l fire.

3 the one who listens to music day in and day out will die listenung to music and will find it difficult to pronounce the shahada.(this is not a hadeeth but it's true. many people died like that.)

to relate a story a man loved umm kalthooms songs and when he was dying he forced his family to play her song instead of playing the Quraan and when the pple changed back to the Quraan(ie, they stopped the song and played Quraan) he said 'i want umm kalthoom i want umm kalthoom' and died

songs are not haraam but music is. you can sing song but not play music.

for thopse who cant stop listening to songs switch you singers from acon,avril,rihanna to zain bikha, dawood warnsby ali, rashed bikha.

not sami yousef. he uses music. the native deen is also good but they also have used music for some of their songs.

MAY ALLAH GUIDE YOU AND ME AND ALL OF MANKIND TO THE STRAIGHT PATH

AAMEEN

Answer 8

Western culture and Islamic teaching does not agree on many points.

Answer 9

I do believe musicis haram and I don't listen to it at least in Ramadan!

Answer 10

assalam alaycum:

well, my father used to say music is haram. But now that i am married, my husband says no and he even bought me a piano.  

But in ramadan, i think we should not listen to music because we should be busy reading coran and making good deeds since each hasanah is made double (if i remember right).  So its just much better to make rewards than wasting time..

Answer 11

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا أُولَئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ

((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 Luqmaan:6)

The scholars of Tafseer have stated that ‘Idle Talk’ refers to music and singing. ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood (رضي الله عنه) swore by Allaah three times about this verse being in reference to Music,

فقال عبد اللّه بن مسعود: الغناء، واللّه الذي لا إله إلا هو، يردها ثلاث مرات

((By Allaah, of who there is nothing worthy of worship except Him, its meaning is Music)) and he said this three times.

Sunan al-Bayhaqee (1/233), Tafseer Ibn Katheer, al-Haakim, Mustadrak (2/411)

This saying has also been narrated from many others amongst the salaf as-Saalih, such as Ibn ‘Abbaas (رضي الله عنه) who said ,

عن بن عباس في هذه الآية { من يشتري لهو الحديث } قال نزلت في الغناء وأشباهه

((This verse- And those who purchase Idle Talks- was revealed for music, singing and the like.))

Sunan al-Bayhaqi, 1/221 and Musannaf Ibn abi Shayba, 132/5

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is reported to have said,

النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول ليكونن من أمتي أقوام يستحلون الحر والحرير والخمر والمعازف ولينزلن أقوام إلى جنب علم يروح عليهم بسارحة لهم يأتيهم لحاجة فيقولون ارجع إلينا غدا فيبيتهم الله ويضع العلم ويمسخ آخرين قردة وخنازير إلى يوم القبامة

((Among my Ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments…)) until the end of the hadeeth.

Narrated by al-Bukhaari ta’leeqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsool by al-Tabaraanee and al-Bayhaqee; Ibn Maajah (4010). See al-Silsilah al-Saheehah by al-Albaani, 91

Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalaanee stated in his introduction to his explanation of Saheeh al-Bukhaaree,

وأنه لا يورد فيه إلا حديثا صحيحا

((He did not place in it except the authentic Hadeeth))

Introduction of al-Fath-ul Baaree of Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalaanee

Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) said,

فدل هذا الحديث على تحريم المعازف‏.‏ والمعازف هي آلات اللهو عند أهل اللغة وهذا اسم يتناول هذه الآلات كله

((This hadeeth indicates that ma'aazif are Haraam, and ma’aazif means musical instruments according to the scholars of (Arabic) language. This word includes all such instruments.))

al-Majmoo’ al Fataawa, 11/535

al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer stated:

وأنكر ابن الصلاح على ابن حزم رده حديث الملاهي حيث قال فيه البخاري "وقال هشام بن عمار"

((And Ibnus Salaah denounced Ibn Hazm for his refutation of the hadeeth of music where Imaam al-Bukhaaree said "and Hishaam bin 'Amaar said"))

al-Baa'ith al-Hatheeth Sharh Ikhtisaar 'Uloom al-Hadeeth page 35

al-Haafidh al-'Iraaqee said:

هذا الحديث حكمه الإتصال، لأن هشام بن عمار من شيوخ البخاري حدَّث عنه بأحاديث... والحديث متصل من طرق: من طريق هشام وغيره

((This Hadeeth takes the ruling of being connected, because Hishaam bin 'Ammaar is from the Shuyookh (teachers) of al-Bukhaaree and he narrated from him ahaadeeth… and the Hadeeth is connected from paths: from the way of Hishaam and other than him.))

Sharh at-Tabsirah wat-Tadhkirah

Some of the 'Ulemaa have reported Ijmaa' upon the prohibition of Music such as Ibn Rajab in his book, "Nazhatal Asmaa' fee Masaa'ilat as-Samaa'" where he quoted al-Aajurree saying:

وقد حكى أبو بكر الآجري وغيره إجماع العلماء على ذلك

((And Aboo Bakr al-Aajurree and other than him ruled a consensus of the Ulemaa upon that))

Nazhatal Asmaa' fee Masaa'ilat as-Samaa' p. 3

Abee Tayyib at-Tabaree also said:

أما مالك بن أنس فإنه نهى عن الغناء وعن استماعه … وهو مذهب سائر أهل المدينة

((As for Maalik bin Anas, then he prohibited music/singing and listening to it… and this is the Madhhab of the rest of the people of Madeenah))

Abee Tayyib at-Tabaree also said:

لا يجوز الغناء ولا سماعه ولا الضرب بالقضيب ، قال ومن أضاف إلى الشافعي هذا فقد كذب عليه

((Music/Singing is not permissible, nor is listening to it nor is hitting the bars, and whoever ascribes that to ash-Shaafi'ee has lied upon him))

Talbees Iblees (282)

Imaam Aboo Haneefah is also reported as saying:

أن الغناء حرام في جميع الأديان

((Music/singing is Haraam according to all the religions))

Roohul Ma'aanee of al-Aloosee (21/67)

Ibnul Qayyim also reported:

والشافعي وقدماء أصحابه ، والعارفون بمذهبه من أغلظ الناس قولا في ذلك

((And ash-Shaafi'ee and his elder companions and those who were knowledgeable of his Madhhab were from the harshest people in speaking against music))

Ighaathatul Lahfaan (350)

this is why music is haram

Answer 13

I listen to music but I think it is haram for some very subtle reasons.

No I would never listent during Ramadan.  I want a clear nafs.

Answer 14

V. silly, isn't it?

It is as if Allah is actively going to count all their sins in Ramadan, but stop doing it as soon as Ramadan ends! If it's a sin, it has to remain so all year round. Or is there is a hadith which says that music is halah throughout the whole year, except for Ramadan?

Sort of hypocrisy in front of God. Seasonal Islam. Does Allah need it?
