What about musical wind-instruments?
Narrated Abu Musa: "That the Prophet said to him 'O Abu Musa! You have been given one of the musical wind-instruments of the family of David.' (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Virtues of the Qur'an, Volume 6, Book 61, Number 568)"
Trolls need not to answer.
Thanks. :)|||Assalaamu alaykum brother :)
First of all, I don't think a ruling in the Deen of Allah is determined with just one shahih hadeeth. Besides there are ahadeeth which contradict each other, and only an ulema who is well versed in the science of hadith and usul-al fiqh can determine what to do in these situations, like giving preference to one hadith over an another under specified conditions.
Also, please read this. For a ruling, Quran always comes first, and the next is sunnah.
In not less than four places in the Qur’an, music has been declared haram. One such verse is found in Surah Luqman:
There is a man among the people who buys discourses of distracting amusements, so that he may mislead (people) from the Way of Allah, and make a mockery of it. For such people there is a disgraceful punishment. [31:06]
The phrase ‘lahwa alhadeeth’ is of importance as this refers to music.
‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (ra), while replying to a question regarding “lahwa alhadeeth” said:
“I take an oath by Allah, this means music.”
(al-Sunan al-Kubra lil Baihaqi, v.1 p.223)
Imam Shawkani (rh) quotes this hadith and says:
“Ibn Shayba (rh) has quoted this hadith with sahih sanad. This has also been quoted by Hakim (rh) and Baihaqi (rh). Both of them classified it as sahih.”
(Nayl al Awtar, v.8 p.100)
Ibn ‘Abbas (ra) stated regarding “lahwa alhadeeth”:
“This means singing and things like it.”
(Adab al-Mufrad v.2 p.662)
Hasan Basri (rh) said regarding the same:
“This means music other things like story-telling the whole night, jokes, nonsensical talks etc. In fact, it includes all such things which would make one negligent of Allah’s (swt) worship and remembrance.”
(Tafsir Ruh al-Ma’ani, v.21 p.67)
Another narration from Hasan Basri (rh) is reported where he has said:
“This verse was revealed with regard to music.”
(Tafsir Ibn Kathir, v.3 p.442)
There are many such statements of the companions where they have explained the meaning of “lahwa alhadeeth” to mean music. The above are just a few mentioned to clarify the matter.
Apart from the Qur’an, there are many ahadith that leave no doubt that music is haram in Islam.
Umaamah Baahilee (ra) has narrated that the Messenger (saw) said:
“Verily, I have been sent by Allah (swt) as a guidance and mercy for the Muslims and He (swt) has commanded me to destroy the flute, drum, cross and objects of the days of ignorance (jahiliyah).”
(Abu Dawood)
Ibn ‘Abbas (ra) has narrated that the Messenger (saw) said:
“I have been commanded to destroy the drum and the flute.”
(Jamul Jawaami’)
Abu Hurairah (ra) has narrated that the Messenger (saw) said:
“Close to Qiyaamah, the forms of some people of my Ummah will be transformed and changed into that of monkeys and swines.”
The Sahabah (raa) asked: “O Rasulullah (saw)! Will these people be Muslims?”
The Messenger (saw) said: “Yes, they will testify that there is none worthy of worship but Allah (swt) and that I am Allah’s (swt) messenger and they will also fast.”The Sahabah (raa) asked: “O Rasulullah (saw)! Then why will this happen to them?
”The Messenger (saw) said: “These people will become accustomed to musical instruments and singing girls and they will drink wine. One night they will be involved in drinking wine and in futilities and amusements. In the morning, their features will be transformed.”
(Ibn Hibban)
‘Abdullah ibn Dinar said:
“I went out with ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar to the market. He passed by a small slave-girl who was singing and remarked, ‘Shaytan. If he had left anyone, he would have left this girl.’”
(Adab Al-Mufrad)
‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas (ra) narrated that the Messenger (saw) said:
“Allah (swt) has forbidden wine, gambling, drum and saarangee (stringed instrument like violin).” He added, “Everything that intoxicates is haram.”
(Ma’ariful Qur’an, while quoting from Imam Ahmed, Abu Dawood and Ibn Hibban)
Also, hadith sources cannot be limited only to the shahih sittah (that is the 6 hadith books) there are alot of sahih hadith in various other books as well :)

The first evidence of music being allowed to Prophet David (a.s) and hence music must be allowed for us too, this argument is baseless and only a person who has no knowledge of shariah and aqeeda and the difference between them would state that. It might be allowed for prophet David, but whose ummah are we? Do we not belong to the ummah of Prophet(s.a.w)?. We obey what Allah(swt) has revealed to Prophet(s.a.w) this shariah, like 5 times salaah is fardh, alcohol is haraam, zakaah is fardh etc. Our rules and laws are based on the shariah revealed to prophet(s.a.w).
Even if Prophet David (a.s) himself was alive now, he would've to follow Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), as stated by him (s.a.w) in a hadeeth when umar (r.a) read parts of torah to prophet(s.a.w), he (s.a.w) got angry and condemned him saying, "if Mosa (a.s) were to be alive now, he should follow Prophet(s.a.w)".
And, music not being mentioned in Quran nor being prohibited is again baseless. Please see my posts above, about the Ayah and its tafsir.
They've stated the hadith of prophet(s.a.w) allowing singing during Eid. In the hadith, Ayesha (r.a) only mentioned girls "singing" and didn't say, "they sang with musical instruments".
Also, what we can conclude from these hadiths is that, entertainment is not totally forbidden in Islam, rather it is encouraged to have some sort of entertainment during Eid.
@Link no.2
There is nothing to refute actually :)
They are completely wrong, since they ignore the command of Allah (which is directly stated in Quran), and nor does the hadith refer to 'jahiliyyah' (read that hadith again pls) rather prophet(s.a.w) clearly states, "Among my followers,....." which again means us, his(s.a.w) ummah.
I'm no scholar brother, and I could be wrong, but I as a common muslimah follow the opinion of music is haraam, and Allah knows best.|||No, I'm not a troll.
My uncle is very religious Muslim. He plays guitar.
He once brought his guitar to the mosque. He wasn't playing it there but he needed to take it somewhere so he it with him. Although some people didn't seem to like this gesture the Imam said that it was fine. In fact later the Imam told my uncle that music was not haram and that he also enjoyed listening and playing music.
And what about Yusuf Islam. He stopped listening to music for thirty years when he coverted to Islam. And then he returned to the industry, a devout Muslim as ever.|||A drum is technically a daf, the only important thing is to make sure those extra metals around the object are not present that give of the "kish kish" sound of metal against metal. And that is the only acceptable thing.|||ASSALAM O ALAIKUM
well i think only duff is allowed...
cuz any music that excites you N encourage u towards bad things like screaming,singing aloud like crazy,dating n all that stuff is HARAAM in ISLAM....
ALLAH KNOWS BEST N REST...|||Yup! only duff and human voice|||The duff is halal in certain situations and is to be used by females only.
Al-Bukhaari narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There will be among my ummah people who will regard adultery, silk, alcohol and musical instruments as permissible.” ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The daff is haraam, stringed instruments are haraam, drums are haraam and flutes are haraam. Narrated by al-Bayhaqi, 10/222 BUT THERE ARE SOME HADEETH THAT SAY BEATING THE DUFF IS PERMISSABLE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS! Eid, weddings, and when one who has been away returns. The evidence is given below.
1 – It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah that Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him) entered upon her and there were two girls with her during the days of Mina beating the daff, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was covering himself with his garment. Abu Bakr rebuked them, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) uncovered his face and said, “Leave them alone, O Abu Bakr, for these are the days of Eid.” That was during the days of Mina.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 944; Muslim, 892
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4852).
It was narrated that Buraydah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went out on one of his military campaigns, and when he came back, a black slave woman came and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, I vowed that if Allaah brought you back safe and sound, I would beat the daff before you and sing. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “If you vowed that, then do it, otherwise do not do it.’” So she started to beat the daff, and Abu Bakr came in whilst she was doing so. Then ‘Ali came in whilst she was beating the daff, then ‘Uthmaan came in whilst she was beating the daff, then ‘Umar came in and she threw the daff beneath her and sat on it. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “The Shaytaan is afraid of you, O ‘Umar. I was sitting and she was beating the daff, then Abu Bakr came in when she was beating the daff; then ‘Ali came in when she was beating the daff; then ‘Uthmaan came in when she was beating the daff, but when you came in, O ‘Umar, she put the daff down.”
Secondly: The correct view is that it is not permissible to beat the daff except for women. If a man does that, he is imitating women, which is a major sin.
Shaykh al-Islam (Ibn Taymiyah – may Allaah have mercy on him) said: In general, it is a well known principle of the Islamic religion that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not prescribe that the righteous men, devoted worshippers and ascetics of this ummah should gather to listen to verses of poetry chanted to the accompaniment of handclapping, rhythm sticks or daffs. It is not permissible for anyone to go beyond the limits of Islam and follow something other than that which was narrated in the Qur’aan and Sunnah, whether that has to do with inward matters or outward, whether for the common man or the elite. But the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) granted a concession for some kinds of entertainment on the occasion of weddings and the like, and he also granted a concession to women allowing them to beat the daff at weddings and on other joyous occasions. But with regard to the men of his time, none of them used to beat the daff or clap his hands, rather it was proven in al-Saheeh that he said, ‘Clapping is for women, and Tasbeeh is for men,’ and he cursed women who imitate men and men who imitate women.
Because singing, beating the daff and clapping the hands are actions of women, the salaf used to call a man who did that mukhannath (effeminate), and they used to call male singers makhaaneeth (pl. of mukhannath). This is well known.
Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 11/565, 566
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Rather the concession allowing women to use the daff is for them only. With regard to men, it is not permissible for them to do any of that, whether on weddings or on other occasions. Rather Allaah has prescribed for men to train in the instruments of war and skills needed for battle, such as shooting and horse riding, and competing in that.
And he also said:
With regard to weddings, it is prescribed to beat the daff and sing regular songs which do not call for or praise anything that is haraam. This is to be done at night, by women only, to announce the wedding and to emphasize the difference between this legitimate marriage and zina (adultery) which is done in secret, as was narrated in the saheeh Sunnah from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
