Permissability of Music March 6, 2008

In the society we live in we hear music every where. Whether we are watching tv or we turn on the radio we are surrounded by music. Some shuyook have said that listening to music is alright as long as it is “islamic”. Many brothers and sisters say ”so and so said its alright soo that is why we are doing it” Our response is on the day of judgement your response to Allah so and so told me its ok punish them” will not suffice also do not look at what so and so said look at what Allah Azzawajaal tells us and what the Prophet pbuh said about this topic. Inshallah we will bring proofs from the Quran and the Sunnah to justify our stance on music, and to refute those shuyook who encourage this hated practice of jahiliyya.
proof number one-
“But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales, without knowledge (or meaning), to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a humiliating Penalty.” [31:6]
-Ibn Abbas (radhi Allahu anh) said idle tales in this verse “lahu al hadith” is evil and music.
-Ibn al Qayyim (rahimahu Allah) said, “The interpretation of the sahabah and Tabiyeen of idle tales is sufficient in that it means music.
Proof number two
“Do ye then wonder at this recital? And will ye laugh and not weep. Wasting your time in vanities?” 53: 59-61
Ibn Katheer (rahimahu Allah) said in his tafseer under this verse, Sufyan Althawry narrated that his father heard Ibn Abbas say “usmud” for us means sing for us.
Just these two verses out of several should be enough proof for a believer, but we will provide proofs from the Sunnah for those who say “no where does it say that music is forbidden. Let us remind you Allah Azzawajaal tells us to follow the Prophet PBUH in Surah Ahzab “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day…â€
Proof one from Sunnah-
The prophet (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) walked with Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf in between pine trees. The prophet (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) then placed his son Ibrahim on his lap and began to cry. Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf said, “Oh prophet of Allah do you cry when you stop us from crying?” He said, “I did not deter you from crying. I deterred you from two evil sinful voices - a voice with musical devilish instruments and a voice at a misery with scraping of the face and shredding of the clothe.”
second proof-
The prophet (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) said “There will be in my Ummah those who make it halal (permissible) adultery/fornication, silk, alcohol and musical instruments.”
Sheikh Al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahu Allah) said this hadith proves musical instruments to be haram and “ma3azif” (the term in the hadith is a term used for all musical instruments.)
May Allah Guide Us.
