Ok fellas…time out!
Partypooper… a good friend, provided an excellent opinion. Which (I think) allows music, conditionally.www.understanding-islam.com is a good site, although in my opinion, it sometimes gives a slightly liberal interpretation of islamic rulings.
For a more conservative ruling, please visit the site www.islam-qa.com and enter “music” in their search engine. The search will produce many responses given to different questions. One of them is
http://www.islam-qa.com/QA/5|Jurisprudence_and_Islamic_Rulings(Fiqh)/Ahkaam_al-Tasliyyah_wa’l-Tarfeeh_wa’l-Riyaadhah/Ruling_on_music_singing_and_dancing.02072000.5000.shtml
Please visit the link and get the complete answer. All the references of quran and ahadith are provided there. For the sake of brevity, I am just posting the ‘Conclusion’ here.
Conclusion
Perhaps – for fair-minded and objective readers – this summary will make it clear that the view that music is permissible has no firm basis. There are no two views on this matter. So we must advise in the best manner, and then take it step by step and denounce music, if we are able to do so. We should not be deceived by the fame of a man in our own times in which the people who are truly committed to Islam have become strangers. The one who says that singing and musical instruments are permitted is simply supporting the whims of people nowadays, as if the masses were issuing fatwas and he is simply signing them! If a matter arises, they will look at the views of fuqahaa’ on this matter, then they will take the easiest view, as they claim. Then they will look for evidence, or just specious arguments which are worth no more than a lump of dead meat. How often have these people approved things in the name of sharee’ah which in fact have nothing to do with Islam!
Strive to learn your Islam from the Book of your Lord and the Sunnah of your Prophet. Do not say, So-and-so said, for you cannot learn the truth only from men. Learn the truth and then measure people against it. This should be enough for the one who controls his whims and submits himself to his Lord. May what we have written above heal the hearts of the believers and dispel the whispers in the hearts of those who are stricken with insinuating whispers. May it expose everyone who is deviating from the path of Revelation and taking the easiest options, thinking that he has come up with something which none of the earlier generations ever achieved, and speaking about Allaah without knowledge. They sought to avoid fisq (evildoing) and ended up committing bid’ah – may Allaah not bless them in it. It would have been better for them to follow the path of the believers.
And Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless and grant peace to His Messenger who made clear the path of the believers, and to his companions and those who follow them in truth until the Day of Judgement.
The views expressed are those of the author, not mine. If you don’t like it, do whatever you wish.
Take care
