i hv a simple question which iv never received a straightforward answer to
is listening to music allowed in islam??
also movies?
Re: uh questionnn
it really depends on what kind of music and what kind of movies
Re: uh questionnn
Most of the scholars say that musical instruments are haram. There are hadiths to support this, also some beleive that when Allah in the quran mentions how the voice of shaytan will enter people’s hearts, that it is refering to music.
Movies, well yeah i guess if you are wasting all your time on movies and they cause you to do haram things like miss namaz then they become haram, or if you’re watching na mahram women in them since we should lower our gaze.
I guess stick to Animal documentries…

Re: uh questionnn
As far as I know is according to Sufis/Bralvis sect, some musics are not haraam.
Re: uh questionnn
Nothing is wrong with music, whether you play it, make it, write it, dance same for any other artistic pursuit.
Remember sunnahs and hadiths written by men. The american black developed Jazz and Blues as a way to voice their oppression artistically.
Perhaps when sunnahs and hadiths said haram to music , they actually meant it to be used as a method of controlling the population. Think about that!!!!
Re: uh questionnn
Yeah I am thinking about it:hehe:
Let’s declare debate and media haram too 
that’s more like along those lines 
pathetic reasoning 
Re: uh questionnn
However, you know what I wrote is the truth. Music is a form of expression and sunnahs and hadiths are a form of suppressing that expression .
Try thinking outside the box, and you might correct you pathetic thinking. Hey media under hadiths and sunnahs is haram when you think about it!!! Even the use of emoticons is HARAM PER SUNNI CLERICS.

Fear Allah before you say things like this. Who do you think recorded and memorized the quran? the same men (and WOMEN) who memorized the sunnah of Rasulallah. If you knock their credibility, you are also casting doubt on the Quran.
You can express yourself with words and things that actually mean something and convey a point without with musical instruments. Don't try to make up excuses like this for making something halal. Should i start drinking because it helps me express myself? Get a life.
Re: uh questionnn
Also, Islam does not supress a human's natural feelings, rather it directs them to a proper outlet, so do not try to trangress these bounds.
Re: uh questionnn
Many topics have been beaten in the past with this.
Simply put it, music is not good for the soul. Try other activities, and minimize ur music as much as u can, if anything...try to stop it completely.
The whole world has focused around how to live life in this world, they've done everything to pursue the things in this world. Muslims think outside the box and they actually worry about the coming life instead.
This life is not free, Allah gave you hands feet, eyes smell, sense, hearing, and good health. He gave you everything in this world, and you can't expect it ot be free, and then at the sametime abuse the things to disobey him.
Pay to Allah, Pray Namaaz, Remember him. He is the almighty, and if something stops you from remembering him, then truly there is a lost for someone.

Wow mashallah, I like your response.
Re: uh questionnn
errr the gentlemen compiling the ahadeeth knocked the credibility of hadeeth and took scores of them out of circulation because they were baseless or falsely attributed to ppl, even if they were coming from ultiple sources. Similarly many hadeeth that are in our boosk now are also labelled as wea ahadeeth i.e. the compilers thought that they did not have enough compelling information to confirm that these were infact accurate but did not want to just take them out either.
hadeeth can not be compared to Quran in anways. Firstly Allah himself assured us of the protection of authenticity of quran. but said no such thing about hadeeth. Secondly, Quran was compiled on paper soon after the prophets death, and there had been numerous ppl who had written it and memorized it. Hadeeth on the other hand was not officially compiled and verified for a much lnger time.
Just because someone questions the crediility of hadeeth does not mean he or she is questioning the intentions or credibility of the people who the transimission of hadeeth is attributed to. When scores of hdaeeth were tossed out during compilation of saheeh bukhari or saheeh muslim, they did not toss hadeeth out because they felt that the names the hadeeth transmission pah was attributed to were not credible, they just did not think that it really came thru them and that someone else down the road did some hanky panky.
Re: uh questionnn
salaams, listening to music is haram and there is lot of hikmah behind as to why
listening to nasheeds/naaths/song with musical instruments is also haram
one of the signs of day of judgement described by prophet SAW is when ppl start to make halal haram and haram halal

It was reported in a saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of **
*Allaah be upon him) said: "In my ummah there will be people who allow *
*fornication/adultery (zina), silk, wine and musical instruments [ma'aazif]. Some people *
*will stay at the side of a mountain, and they will have flocks of sheep. When a poor person *
*comes in the evening to ask them for something he needs, they will say. `Come back to us *
*tomorrow.' Then during the night Allaah will destroy them by causing the mountain to fall *
*upon them, while He changes others into apes and swine. They will remain in such a state *
*until the Day of Resurrection.'" *
*(Reported by al-Bukhaari in al-Saheeh mu'allaqan, 51/10. Reported mawsoolan by *
*al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra, 3/272; al-Tabaraani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabeer, *
*3/319; and Ibn Hibbaan in al-Saheeh (8/265-266). Classed as saheeh by Ibn al-Salaah *
*in `Uloom al-Hadeeth (32), Ibn al-Qayyim in Ighaathat al-Lahfaan (255) and *
*Tahdheeb al-Sunan (5/270-272), al-Haafiz in al-Fath (10/51) and al-Albaani in *
**al-Saheehah (1/140)).
We may understand from the hadeeth that all kinds of musical instruments are forbidden.
This is clear from the hadeeth for a number of reasons:
1.The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said "... there will
be people who allow..." It is clear that the things listed here, including musical
instruments, are forbidden in sharee'ah, but those people will allow them.
2.He compared musical instruments to things that are definitely known to be
haraam, namely zina and alcohol. If instruments were not haraam, he would not
have made this comparison. The evidence of this hadeeth that singing is haraam is
definitive. Even if no other hadeeth or aayah spoke about musical instruments, this
hadeeth would be sufficient to prove that they are haraam, especially the kind of
singing that is known among people nowadays, the essence of which is obscenity
and foul talk, based on all kinds of musical instruments such as guitars, drums,
flutes, ouds, zithers, organs, pianos, violins and other things that make it more
enticing, such as the voices of these effeminate singers and whores.
(See Hukm al-Ma'aazif by al-Albaani, Tas-heeh al-Ahkta' wa'l-Awhaam al-Waaqi'ah fi
Ahaadeeth al-Nabi `alayhi'l-salaam by Raa'id Sabri, 1/176).
Shaykh Ibn Baaz said in Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 3/423-424):
"Ma'aazif refers to singing and musical instruments. The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that at the end of time there will come a people
who will allow these things just as they will allow alcohol, zina and silk. This is one of the
signs of his Prophethood, for all of this has happened. The hadeeth indicates that [musical
instruments] are haraam, and condemns those who say they are halaal, just as it
condemns those who say that alcohol and zina are allowed. The aayaat and ahaadeeth
that warn against singing and musical instruments are many indeed. Whoever claims that
Allaah has allowed singing and musical instruments is lying and is committing a great evil.
We ask Allaah to keep us from obeying our desires and the Shaytaan. Even worse and
more seriously sinful than that are those who say it is mustahabb. Undoubtedly this stems
from ignorance about Allaah and His Religion; it is insolent blasphemy against Allaah and
lying about His Laws. What is mustahabb is to beat on the daff [simple hand drum] at
weddings. This is mustahabb for women only, in order to announce the wedding and to
distinguish it from fornication. There is nothing wrong with women singing amongst
themselves, accompanied by the daff, so long as the songs contain no words that
encourage evil or distract people from their duties. It is also a condition that this should
take place among women only, and there should be no mixing with men. It should also not
cause any annoyance or disturbance to neighbours. What some people do, of amplifying
such singing with loudspeakers is evil, because of the disturbance it causes to other
Muslims, neighbours and others. It is not permissible for women, in weddings or on other
occasions, to use any instrument other than the daff, such as the oud, violin, rebab
(stringed instrument) and so on. This is evil, and the only concession that women are
given is that they may use the daff.
As for men, it is not permissible for them to play any kind of musical instrument, whether
at weddings or on any other occasion. What Allaah has prescribed for men is training in
the use of instruments of war, such as target practice or learning to ride horses and
competing in that, using spears, shields, tanks, airplanes and other things such as
cannons, machine guns, bombs and anything else that may help jihaad for the sake of
Allaah." Shaykh al-Islam said in al-Fataawa (11/569):
** "And of mankind is he who purchases idle talk to mislead (men) from the Path of
Allaah, without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allaah, the Verses of the Qur'aan)
by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-fire)."
[Luqmaan 31:6] ** Most of the scholars interpreted lahw al-hadeeth ("idle talk") as meaning singing and
musical instruments, and every voice that diverts people from the truth.

Re: uh questionnn

Re: uh questionnn
This can't be true. What if you play a guitar and you really really enjoy it and you just bought one for alot of money that you worked really hard for? Would that be haram?
Re: uh questionnn

Music in the light of Quran and Sunnah…I think it[site] has answer of every common question about music.
hope it’ll help…inshaAllah
Re: uh questionnn
every body works hard to earn their money unless you inherit money from family... those 2 things that you mentioned are haram but music does not directly link to them. You could be a accountant and when you got paid, could buy pork? as far as music goes, Dufly was said to be allowed... it was the instrument people used in Madina to welcome Muhammad (PBUH).
