Re: OK so music might be Haram but…
Sussana, let me ask you a question, if a person practicies hinduism does it mean he/she is a pandit or if a person is a christian believer does it mean he/she is expected to know all the bible in and out and may be able to quote it?
If you are a believer, there are guildines for the one to follow to practice the religon. There are scholars that spend significant time and efforts to get in depth knowledge about different aspects of religion. You can’t expect to go to a chat forum and expect fellow guppies to answer your religous concerns, if one has some serious concerns he/she should go to a aalim or scholar to get the answers.
I have quote the following answer from an aalim network and I believe it does a good job explaining why music can be haram.
Generally speaking, music is deemed to be haram due to it’s effects on a
person’s soul and the possible effects on morals. It is also very addictive
and can lead to a person indulging in vain things which can make him lose
his purpose in life. I have observed the society around and am sure that the
gradual decadence of moral behaviour is based on 3 elements: Alcohol,
womanizing and music. You will observe this especially when you go to
Universities and colleges.
