btw im far from knowledgable on chains of authenticity and the importance of undermentioned scholars etc, so don't take these as official rulings from the Quran. Its just various views from scholars and hadiths that i found on the fb page.

Various scholars:

​

• Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Music is the Quran of Shaytan" ^(1)

[Ighathatul-Lahfaan mim-Masaaidish-Shaytaan 1/224]

^(1 LMAO)

​

• Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymîyyah رحمه الله said:“Music is forbidden according to all of the four Imaams.”

[al-Minhaj 3/442]

​

• Sheikh Uthaymeen [رحمه الله]:"If you see your brother debating and disputing when the truth is clear and he does not want to follow it, you should flee from him in the same way as you flee from a lion. Tell him that you have nothing more than that to say to him, and let him be."

[Sharh Hilyah Talib-ul-‘Ilm, Page 28]

​

• Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said: “Singing [and music] is worse and more harmful than stories of emperors, because it directs [one] to adultery and fornication and it is the fountainhead of hypocrisy. It is the snare of the Shaytaan, and it intoxicates the intellect, Its obstructing (people) from the Qur’aan is worse than any way in which other types of phony speech blocks them, because the souls of people lean towards [sounds like this] and have the desire to listen to it.”

[Ighaathatul-Lahfaan’,1/258-259]

​

• Ibn Rajaab said: "People started singing about alcohol & other sinful activities therefore the sahaba took a firm stance against music."

[Fat-h, Volume: 6, Page: 77]

​

• Ibn Mas'ūd رضي الله عنه said: "Music breeds hypocrisy in the heart just as water causes vegetation."

[Igātha al-Lahfān 1/225-268]

​

• Imām ash-Shafi'ī [رحمه الله] said: "Whosoever listens to music, then he is an idiot (سفيه) whose testimony is to be rejected."^(2) [الأم للشافعي (٦\٢٠٩)] ^(2 testimoy meaning witness in trial)

​

• Imam Ahmed Bin Hanbal [رحمه الله] was asked about ghinaa’ (singing/music). So, he said:"Music causes hypocrisy to sprout/grow in the heart"

[Al-Mughni of Ibn Qudaamah, (12/42)]

​

• Ibn al-Uthaymîn: "Nasheed is an innovation. It imitates what the Sufis innovated in the religion." [Tandheem Al-Ikhwaani al-Muslimeen, Page 139]

​

• Shaykh al-Fawzān حفظه الله: "Nasheeds are not Islamic. They are like music. They should be shunned and not sold."

[Al-Khutab Al-Mimbariyyah 3/184]

​

• Shaykh Sālih al-Fawzān حفظه الله: "Nasheeds are from the signs of the Soofis and Hizbis."

[Fatawaa Ala Hawaa - 05/05/34]

​

• Shaykh al-Albanî [رحمه الله]: "Nasheeds may be performed in the manner of songs & performed like the customs of western music."

[Tahreem Alaat al-Tarb]

​

• Shaykh al-Albanî [رحمه الله]: "This is a new mistake, and imitation of the non-muslims and immoral people."

[Ibid]

​

• Shaykh 'Abdul Muhsin al-'Abbaad said: "A person should spend his time with what will give him good in return in this life and the life after this. Let him occupy himself with remembrance of Allaah, read the Qur'aan and beneficial books. Moreover, it is also fine to listen to beneficial poetry which urges to noble character and good adab. But as for these Anasheed which are listened to in these times, and which are sung in choirs to thereafter be recorded and sold, one should neither listen to them nor care about them (i.e one should ignore them)."

[al-Qawl al-Mufeed fee Hukm-il-Anaasheed, Page 70]

​

• Imām Shāfi'ī [رحمه الله] said: "Thagbīr (Anāshīd) were created by heretics to distance people away from the Qur`ān.**" [مجموع الفتاوى لإبن تيمية ١١\٥٣٢]

​

• Sh. Sālih al-Fawzān حفظه الله said: "There's no such thing as 'islamic nashīd', this is the innovation of sūfīs, it is not permissible to promote them." [مجلة الدعوة (١٦٣٢)]

​

• Ibn Taymiyyah on the Prohibition of Music: “The madhhab of the four Imams is that all instruments of musical entertainment are haram [forbidden]. It is authentically related in Saheehul Bukhari and other compilations that Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and give peace) foretold that some of his Ummah would seek to make lawful: fornication, the wearing of silk, wine-drinking and musical instruments [ma'azif]; and that such people would be turned into apes and swine. The term ma’azif means musical entertainment, as has been mentioned by the scholars of the Arabic language. It is the plural of mi’zafah, the instrument upon which one makes musical sounds. None of the disciples of these Imams has mentioned the existence of any dissension from the consensus on the prohibition of all instruments of musical entertainments.”

Source: Majmu’ Al-Fatawa, 11/576

• "if there is music involved in a walimah (dinner invitation), do not accept the invitation."

— Hasan al-Basri (d. 110h) who learned and narrated from hundreds of Sahabah [al-Jaami by al-Qayrawaani, p. 262]

​

• "The most likely effect of songs is loving imagery and deeming lewdness good. Moreover, being addicted to it makes reciting and specifically listening to the Qur'an unfavorable to the hearts. If this is not hypocrisy, what then should hypocrisy be?"

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Bāz [رحمه الله] [Fatwas of Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Bāz, (3/415) | Alifta]

​

Kutub al-sittah:

​

• "I was with Ibn Umar (radiyallahu anhuma ajmain) on a road, when he heard the sound of someone playing a wind instrument (i.e., a pipe) which caught his attention. So he turned away from the road and put his index fingers in his ears. Then he said: O Naafi, do you hear it? Do you hear it? I said: Yes. So he continued on and then said: O Naafi, do you still hear it? I said: No. So he took his hands out of his ears and said: This is what I saw Allah’s Messenger do."
