Is Music Haram? Is Singing Haram?, by Tajreen Islam
Before we label music as haram or halal, we have to understand that music and songs are different. Music consists of instruments that we use to make beats or rhythms. Songs are composed of vocals and lyrics.
When it comes to music, yes, it’s Haram! Musical instruments are shaytan’s instruments.
In Islam, music is forbidden. (The exception is the daff – without any rings. When used by women on Eids and at weddings).
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
Narrated by Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: that he heard the Prophet saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. (Narrated by al-Bukhaari)
When do we talk about something that is permitted or not? When something is impermissible, right?
When do we ask about something being halal or haram? When there is a possibility of it being haram.
In Muslim countries, you don’t ask if the meat is halal or not. Because Muslim countries will most likely serve halal meat by default. However, we ask if food is halal or haram here in this disbeliever country because meat here are haram. So, when the Prophet talked about some of his ummah who will permit those haram acts; meaning they will accept haram as a halal.
If you notice many Muslim men, they don’t know that silk is haram; or some people know it but out of disobedience and arrogance they wear cloth made out of silk, regardless. So, just because they wear it either knowingly or unknowingly, is silk halal for them? No! Silk is haram for men.
Now look at the drinking issue. Some Muslim men in this country or even in Muslim countries, they drink occasionally or formally. So, now does it make drinking halal? Even if someone says, “Oh I just drink occasionally and I am a moderate drinker,” would you think it is okay for him/her to drink? Of course not. You will say it’s Haram!
How about Illegal sexual intercourses (Zinna)? If someone says it's okay for someone to have relationship with you, a girlfriend or boyfriend, before marriage, how would you feel? What would you say? It’s Haram!!!
Of course, you would say its haram to all of those things, from silk to zinna. So, since when and how is music any different from those major sins? Who made music exceptional or made it halal?
As you could see in this authentic hadith, it specifically talks about major sins and music was one of them. If music wasn’t haram, the Prophet (s.a.w.s) would NOT mention music alongside with the other major sins.
So as we can see music is haram and it’s a major sin.
Some scholars were so strict about music that they would say who ever listens to music will become disbeliever. Some scholars would compare those who listen to music with hypocrites. Some scholars would not even take their witness as trustworthy. SubhanAllah, it’s that serious.
So, please don’t take music lightly. If you hear any other difference of opinions other than what I mentioned, don’t pay any attention to them. Like the Prophet (s.a.w.s) said, there are people who will try to make it halal. But music will be never halal or permissible no matter how hard someone tries.
Remember,
Anything that’s harmful is haram in Islam
Zinna harms the society and the emotions
Alcohol harms the health and the spirits
Silk harms one’s personality and behaviors
Music harms the heart.
Now let’s talk about songs. Are all songs haram? The answer is that it depends;
If there are no haram words, filthy words, vain words, if there are no men and women singing together; if men and women don’t take singing as a career. There should be no song recordings after the reach of puberty. Kids singing nasheed without music and decent kids songs on Eid days or gatherings like that, is okay.
Narrated Aisha: That once Abu Bakr came to her on the day of 'Id-ul-Fitr or 'Id ul Adha while the Prophet was with her and there were two girl singers with her, singing songs of the Ansar about the day of Buath. Abu Bakr said twice. "Musical instrument of Satan!" But the Prophet said, "Leave them Abu Bakr, for every nation has an Eid (i.e. festival) and this day is our Eid."Sahih Bukhari 2:15:70
However, now days in this generation, songs are not normal songs. Songs make people abnormal. If you listen to the lyrics of songs, they will make your iman weak right away. It makes your “hayah” “shy” and “modesty” go away. Those words are not only valgus or vain; the words are shameless, dirty shytanic words. Every song nowadays, either its hip-hop or rap or any other kind of music, has filthy curses in the songs or shameless words that just hearing it makes you shameful or shameless. I’m shameful to hear it but some people are shameless to hear it. The words are so horrible and dreadful, that just saying or singing it without music makes your tongue and mouth dirty. On top of that, musical instruments are added, which is shaytan’s instrument, you could imagine the consequences. People go viral, emotions get out of control, and life gets messed up!
One of shaytan’s most powerful instruments that he uses to move mankind away from The Love of Allah is music. It’s like a weapon; it kills the “fitrah” that everyone is born with. Fitra is the instinct, the constitution, the natural nature which is inclined towards the right actions and the submission to Allâh, the One God. Fitrah is a blessing of Allah. And music kills it.
So when there is no fitrah in the heart, there is no love for Allah. The person starts to distance him/herself from Allah. It’s the first step to take the person to astray. Music is a disease for the heart. Music makes a sound, believing heart into a “weak” “disobedient” heart, the heart which doesn’t want to get “hidaya”the guidance from Allah. You will notice that the people who are into music, who love singing, and listening to music, can’t tolerant the Quran. Quranic recitation irritates them. It annoys them. It bothers their ears.
Because, one of the thing that bother shaytan and shaytan hate the most is the Quran “The words of Allah”.
Allaah says in Soorat Luqmaan (interpretation of the meaning): “And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…” [Luqmaan 31:6] Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this aayah was revealed concerning singing and musical instruments (lit. woodwind instruments).
Music, “shaytan’s instrument” and Quran, “the Words of God,” these two things can’t co-exist in the same place at the same time. IF someone says he/she likes both, music and Quran, then something is wrong with his/her heart. It’s a sign of hypocrisy. If he/she loves the Quran and understands the Quran, there is no way he/she can have love for music.
Quran and Music are both are very powerful inspirations. One inspiration is from God and one from Shaytan. Music is a powerful instrument of shaytan, it goes through your bloodstream, to you mind and then to you heart. Have you ever noticed, if you hear a song, even for the first time, it sticks to your head? Doesn’t it? And think about the songs that you love or hear constantly. Those lyrics play all day in your head, in your mind, in your ears, as if it’s part of you. You can’t get rid of them. You go to bathroom, the song will ring in your ear, you go to study, it will stick to your head, even sometimes when you start praying, the lyrics will come in your mind and bother you. You go to sleep, the songs also go to sleep with you.
Therefore, those people who listen to songs, sing songs, indulge him/herself in music, its sticks to their mind, heart, and lips so strongly, that when the moment of the truth comes, the time of death comes, the songs comes to their mouths. They die committing sin and pleasing shaytan.
However, for those who leave music for sake of Allah subhanalla wata alah, Allah gives them the love for the Quran. So they find themselves enjoy hearing the Quran, it soothes their heart. It pleases their ears. When you give up something for sake of Allah, Allah gives you something better. And what can be better than Allah’s Words? So for those whose heart is pleased with Allah’s Words and when the moment of truth comes, he/she most likely would say “Allah’s words” inshAllah.
You could test yourself - when you get hurt, or break something, or drop something, what is the first word that comes out of your mouth? If its the “F” word or “s” word like sucks or damn etc., then you're are in trouble, because God forbid, what if when death comes, you say one of those words. That would be terrible!!!
On other hand, for those who say Subhanallah, Allhamdullillah, or Allahu Akbar all the time, inshAllah those are the words that will come out of their mouths.
So, let us pray, OH Allah please, I beg you to make our last moment the best moment. Let our last words be the best words. Oh Allah gives us the taquaha “the ability” to please you with our actions and words.

One of shaytan’s most powerful instruments that he uses to move mankind away from The Love of Allah is music. It’s like a weapon; it kills the “fitrah” that everyone is born with. Fitra is the instinct, the constitution, the natural nature which is inclined towards the right actions and the submission to Allâh, the One God. Fitrah is a blessing of Allah. And music kills it.
So when there is no fitrah in the heart, there is no love for Allah. The person starts to distance him/herself from Allah. It’s the first step to take the person to astray. Music is a disease for the heart. Music makes a sound, believing heart into a “weak” “disobedient” heart, the heart which doesn’t want to get “hidaya”the guidance from Allah.

Because, one of the thing that bother shaytan and shaytan hate the most is the Quran “The words of Allah”.

Music, “shaytan’s instrument” and Quran, “the Words of God,” these two things can’t co-exist in the same place at the same time. IF someone says he/she likes both, music and Quran, then something is wrong with his/her heart. It’s a sign of hypocrisy. If he/she loves the Quran and understands the Quran, there is no way he/she can have love for music.
Quran and Music are both are very powerful inspirations. One inspiration is from God and one from Shaytan. Music is a powerful instrument of shaytan, it goes through your bloodstream, to you mind and then to you heart. Have you ever noticed, if you hear a song, even for the first time, it sticks to your head? Doesn’t it? And think about the songs that you love or hear constantly. Those lyrics play all day in your head, in your mind, in your ears, as if it’s part of you. You can’t get rid of them. You go to bathroom, the song will ring in your ear, you go to study, it will stick to your head, even sometimes when you start praying, the lyrics will come in your mind and bother you. You go to sleep, the songs also go to sleep with you.
Therefore, those people who listen to songs, sing songs, indulge him/herself in music, its sticks to their mind, heart, and lips so strongly, that when the moment of the truth comes, the time of death comes, the songs comes to their mouths. They die committing sin and pleasing shaytan.
However, for those who leave music for sake of Allah subhanalla wata alah, Allah gives them the love for the Quran. So they find themselves enjoy hearing the Quran, it soothes their heart. It pleases their ears. When you give up something for sake of Allah, Allah gives you something better. And what can be better than Allah’s Words? So for those whose heart is pleased with Allah’s Words and when the moment of truth comes, he/she most likely would say “Allah’s words” inshAllah.
You could test yourself - when you get hurt, or break something, or drop something, what is the first word that comes out of your mouth? If its the “F” word or “s” word like sucks or damn etc., then you're are in trouble, because God forbid, what if when death comes, you say one of those words. That would be terrible!!!
On other hand, for those who say Subhanallah, Allhamdullillah, or Allahu Akbar all the time, inshAllah those are the words that will come out of their mouths.
So, let us pray, OH Allah please, I beg you to make our last moment the best moment. Let our last words be the best words. Oh Allah gives us the taquaha “the ability” to please you with our actions and words.
What about songs in different(and non understandable)languages that are supposed to give a positive message?
ReplyDeleteSongs in other languages are still considered haram if it contains music; and if the singer is female and the audience is male. The positive message should not be conveyed through haram. It is not permissible to use forbidden things, even for medical treatment- Sahih Bukhari. "Allah has never made your remedy in what He has prohibited for you." Therefore we cannot use haram for the means of positive. And Allah knows best.

ReplyDeletecan two girls sing a duet together?
ReplyDeletewell, it depends. If the lyrics have no bad words in it, and there is no music and male audience, then it should be fine. And Allah knows best.
DeleteOkay so basically your saying if your in the right situation it's not haram to sing?
ReplyDeletean what about males can they sing for females??
If the right situation means no non-mahram audience, no musical instruments, and no malicious words like nasheed then it okay. And Allah knows best. No, males can't perform songs for females because they are a non mahram audience.

ReplyDeletecan I change and stop listening to music or is it to late?
ReplyDeleteYes, you should stop listening to music. It's never too late to repent and turn back to Allah. Allah is the Most Merciful and Most Forgiving. May Allah (swt) guide you to the right path and change you for the better.
DeleteIs singing to yourself haraam too? Like if there's no one around and without any musical instrument?
ReplyDeleteIt's not haram, as long as there are no bad lyrics and no non mahram audience. But don't waste your time on singing, instead you should recite the Qur'an.

I am muslim ( alhamdullilaah ) ... tu be a playback singer is my dream even i know its haram...sorry
ReplyDeleteMy question is - the money which i will be earning by singing will it be haram or halal? And is i wants to donate that money like zakat or charity will it be haram or halal? If i do business like in hotel with that money will my hotel or business will be haram or halal? And give me some extra knowledge about harams in islam relates to money and singing
Please help
To make music was what I thought my dream was for a long time too. I literally practiced music from a very young age. When I found Islam I had to work hard to break myself from musical addiction. I had it pretty bad. I think the first thing I noticed when I stopped listening to music was the rhythms of civilized life and nature. You start to hear all life as a sort of music, brought into existence by Allah's command. I know it isn't easy, but if you must be creative, then stick with non-iconic visual art, fashion, Islamic poetry or Quranic discourses and the like. May Allah guide and protect you on your difficult path.
DeleteAny money that earn by haram means is haram. Allah will not accept any charity from haram money. As for charity and zakaah, they can only be given from halaal wealth, because Allaah is Good and does not accept anything but that which is good.
Deletehi,
ReplyDeletei was wondering who to stop swearing, 40% of the words that come out of my mouth are bad and if i dont say them out loud they"re still in my head. Im a muslim,im only 13 but i live in england, i go to a boys n girls school and we have discos every term. I do basically everything bad; I listen to songs as much as I can, I dance when im alone, sing songs (ones with swearing), I dont wear a headscarf, I wear thight clothes and i dont pray at all. But i read the Qu'ran everyday and i dont understand. All my friends are non-muslim so basically i do everything that I shouldnt, ive also had boyfriends which i really regret (coz they're forbiden). I really want to go back to Allah but i dont know how, I need gidence but dunno who to ask so was just searching about listening to songs and found this.
What up kid, I know it's not easy to fit in, but you have something none of your non-muslim friends have, and that's a special relationship with Allah. He is the oft-forgiving, most-merciful, and if you honestly repent in your heart and atone for the sins you committed He'll welcome you back. Music is an addiction. Listen to good Quran recitations, or even the recorded sounds of the ocean or birds. Anything to break the addiction. May Allah guide you in that which you need most and lead you from those who wish to make you go astray.
DeleteDon’t be harsh on your self. You have two most beautiful gifts of Allah. The guilt feelings and God fearing heart. These are the two main ingredients you need in you life to be a better Muslim. Song is poison for a sound heart. Quran or dikr of Allah is the remedy for sick, weak heart that wants to get cure. You have to do things step by step. Alhamdulliah you are still young and you want to be guided to Islam. Thank Allah for that. It’s the first indication that Allah wants good for you and He is guiding you toward Him. My first suggestion would be to make supplications to Allah swt to help you and to show you the straight path. Supplication to Allah is so powerful that it would change your heart a way that you never thought possible. Then second step would be educating yourself. Earn Islamic knowledge. Islamic knowledge will bring you closer to Allah. InshaAllah. For Islamic authentic knowledge, I suggest you check out Islamic online university. They have many programs, programs for youth, free diploma programs, BAIS etc. May Allah help you and guide you. <3
DeleteThe alarms and ringtones we use are composed by musical instruments.. What should we do about that?
ReplyDeleteI switched out my "musical" ringtones and notifications for other sounds; I have a bird cawing, an electric shock, a water splash, and other ones. I'll be releasing some of them soon for purchase, inshaAllah, but you can find them for free (legally) on places like freesound.org
DeleteWhat is the ruling on the situation if one does not become distracted in the ways that you have mentioned by music/singing. If I have control over my thoughts is singing and music still detrimental?
ReplyDeleteHumans are created weak. We can’t guarantee ourselves. Therefore, thinking that you have control over your thought is shaytan’s influence. That’s how shaytan lure people to follow their desires and go against Allah.
DeleteI want to be a rock star I am 16 and I like Justin bieber I want to make lyrics I never wear tight clothes I read Quran everyday with translation and understanding it I have completed three Surahs with translation .plz guide me if I should or not be a rock star I am in really in a pain
ReplyDeleteIf it's lyrics that you want to create, I'm sure you are free to do so, because if you think about it, lyrics are basically poetry without the added music. So you can still create poetry and live with the satisfaction you get from it, even though it might not be exactly what you mean by wanting to be a rock star.
DeleteSubhanAllah you have a beautiful heart, who's searching for guidance. May Allah swt guide you and keep you to the right path. May Allah protect your heart from fitnah. You have given up tight clothes and devote your time for the sake of Allah. You have mashaAllah understanding of the Quran. Please keep up the good works. Don't sell you Deen for Duniay, this world. Allah has promised us greater world in the hereafter and rewards. Being a rock start goes complete against teaching of Islam. And will lead to Hellfire. Justin briber should not be a role model. Our prophet PBUH should be our role model and we should like him and his actions. NOT a disbeliever singer who himself doesn't know what he wants or he is doing. Please make dua,( supplication) to Allah swt to change your heart and give peace in your heart, remove the pain that you are in. The prophet said, “Verily, the hearts of the children of Adam, all of them, are between the two fingers of the Most Merciful as one heart. He directs them wherever he wills.” Then the Prophet said, “O Allah, the turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to your obedience.” Please make the dua "O Allah, the turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to your obedience."
DeleteSo all music is haram? How about songs in different languages that you dont understand and doesnt have bad effects, like they just... sound good. I dont listen to other songs with bad lyrics,videos etc. Im tryin to stop. But even songs u dont understand,no bad lyrics and effects are haraam?
ReplyDeleteYes, all music is haram. It is the view of the four Imaams [(IMAM ABU HANIFA (ra),IMAM MAALIK IBN ANAS (ra),IMAM SHAFI'EE (ra),IMAM AHMAD IBN MUHAMMAD HAMBAL (ra),] is that all kinds of musical instruments are haraam. None of the followers of the imaams mentioned any dispute concerning the matter of music. Al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The four madhhabs are agreed that all musical instruments are haraam. (al-Saheehah, 1/145).
ReplyDeleteRegarding songs, Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: With regard to the view of Imaam Ahmad, his son ‘Abd-Allaah said: I asked my father about singing. He said: Singing makes hypocrisy grow in the heart; I do not like it. Then he mentioned the words of Maalik: the evildoers (faasiqs) among us do that. (Ighaathat al-Lahfaan).
I have a question . I have a little sister who is three. Sometimes upon sitting her turn on youtube she watches video that have music.

Not with any lyrics just music. Also she listens to disney songs. Itry to stop her but i cant. Will it be haram for her.
ReplyDeleteHi Mo Mo, you are a terrific big sister mashaAllah. I wish everyone had sister like you, who looks after their younger siblings in terms of this world and hereafter. Your concern shows that you care a lot for your little sister. Alhamdulillah. Always be her greatest sister :). Ok, terms of haraam, she is too small to be holding accountable for any sin. But definitely adult need to teach kids gradually what is haraam what not.
DeletePlz help me i want to be a singer my dream is just singer and I goes to masjid everyday I read namaz everyday inshaallah forward also I will read namaz and I know singing also if I made sad music and lyrics perfect so what it should be haram or halal ?? i love sad love songs and my heart is saying do music so what should I do plz reply and I m not reading also in school i think that I will be singer so now what should I do ????
ReplyDeleteDon't dream to be a singer. Dream to be a hafiz (Quran reciter). It's not your heart who saying to do music it's the shaitan who is whispering to you. When ever your heart wants music say أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
DeleteA’uzu billahi minash Shayta-nir-rajeem
I seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan" or recite any surah from Quran. May Allah guide you and protect you.

ReplyDeleteAssalamualiakum,
ReplyDeleteMUSIC IS NOT HARAM! I invite everyone to closely look at verses that have been sent down and fully understand their meanings and why they came about.
In Surat Al-Najm, Allah says, what means:
"Do you marvel at this statement, and laugh and do not weep, while you amuse yourselves [proudly] in vanities ? Rather, prostrate before Allaah and worship Him [alone]." According to Ibn Abbaas radhiyallahu'anhuma, the word 'saamidoon' in this verse refers to the mushrikeen's habit of singing and playing music noisily whenever they heard the Qur'aan being recited, in order to drown out the reciters voice so that others wouldn't hear it.
Now, if I was singing and playing music loudly to drown out somebody from reciting Quran, then yes, this would be considered haram. And yes, music with bad words and lyrics can also be considered haram. But there is absolutely no Islamic basis to which innocently playing music as we understand it in today's times (listening in the car, alarm clocks, etc) can be considered haram. Please, brothers and sisters, understand what you are actually reading before making wild interpretations about everything being haram. And listening to instrumentals is haram? Cmon people I know you are smarter than that.
Do not make ur rules

ReplyDeleteI had a question, I for one am not a fan of music I don't blast it through my headphones every day or sing along to unfaithful songs, I may occasionally hear it the radio ad leave it be but I the question I'm behind is, at school we have a performance and I for
one have been chosen to sing, yes there is instruments but no haram words and there isn't any male audience because it is a girls school. So buy the will of alllah I was wondering if this will affect my deen and my relationship with alllah and is my one off singing permissible?

Dear sister pls clear ma doubts��

ReplyDeleteHey noble knowledgeable people.I have a query that if Music is haram then Qawwalis and naats also be forbidden according to this.And i also ask out of inquisitiveness that Adhans MashaALLAH are very well spoken from the mosques but they also follow a musical or rather say a harmony in them.And also the beautiful recitations of Quran. What i exactly wanna know is that What is the difference of rule between singing and musical singing.You say that the lyrics should be pure but my doubt is how are we gonna differentiate between right and wrong,Even in Naats and Qawwalis many verses are biased Related to shirk and all that.Was there any halal singing practice among sahabas at the time of Prophet MUHAMMAD(p.b.u.h).Why cant music be said completely haram and singing as if for now is all bad..why not rather recite quran.

ReplyDeleteMusic is the alcohol of soul .
ReplyDeleteThere are some audio players which eliminate music and only play vocal part. Try those audio player to play songs with music but meaningful lyrics
If singing is haram then show me the verses from Quran...To me that verse u shared as u assumed it is music I’m assuming it is phone cuz the word which is used is ‘Talk’. So plz share exact words from quran. Like sharab is haram exact word is used gambling is haram exact word has been used. Pork is haram exact word is used. So I want exact word plz don’t miss guide ppl with ur assumptions period
ReplyDeleteWhat about music that has no lyrics, like official soundtracks for TV shows, cartoons and videogames? They are just instruments. And what about music that has no instruments, but sounds made by mouth, which are called acapellas?
