00:00Many Muslims consider music to be allowed.

00:05Could you just confirm,

00:08did the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

00:11speak against music?

00:14There is a great difference of opinion

00:16as far as the Muslims are concerned,

00:19whether music is allowed or not, whether it's permitted or not.

00:22But there is no verse in the Quran

00:25directly prohibiting music,

00:27but there are indications.

00:29Allah says in the Quran, in Surah Luqman,

00:32chapter number 31, verse number 6, it says

00:35that among them there are those people

00:37who purchase idle tales

00:39without knowledge and without meaning

00:42and they mislead the people

00:45away from the path of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:48And they ridicule the path of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:50These are the people who will receive

00:52a humiliating punishment.

00:55So based on this, if you see a tafsir,

00:57many of the tafsir says that this idle tales

01:00without knowledge, without meaning,

01:02refers to un-Islamic songs

01:05and the musical instruments, if you read the tafsir.

01:08As far as the Prophet prohibiting music,

01:10there are various sahih hadiths.

01:12So if you read the hadith of Muhammad, peace be upon him,

01:15then there'll be no doubt whether it's permitted or prohibited.

01:18Our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said,

01:20it's mentioned in Sahih Bukhari,

01:23volume number 7, hadith number 5590.

01:28The beloved Prophet said that

01:31from among my followers, there'll be some people

01:34who will make illicit sex,

01:36that is adultery and fornication,

01:39as well as wearing of silk,

01:42drinking intoxicants,

01:44and using musical instruments as legal.

01:49There'll be among my people

01:51who will make some things which are illegal,

01:54that is adultery, fornication,

01:57wearing of silk, having intoxicants,

02:00and the playing of musical instruments as legal.

02:04Now this hadith, when it says

02:06that they will make certain things legal,

02:08and we know that intoxicants is haram,

02:10we know very well that adultery, fornication is haram,

02:13because it is mentioned along with these things which are forbidden,

02:17musical instruments are mentioned along with them,

02:19it indicates that the Prophet has prohibited them.

02:22But some people will make it legal,

02:24and we know there are some scholars

02:27who today do permit that playing of musical instruments is allowed.

02:31So this hadith is very clear-cut

02:33in saying that musical instruments are haram.

02:36But there are other Sahih hadith

02:38which do permit some musical instruments,

02:42especially the daf, that is the tambourine.

02:45If you read the hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad,

02:48of Sahih Bukhari, volume number 5,

02:50hadith number 4001,

02:52where it is said that Muhammad,

02:55after consummating his marriage,

02:57he came and he sat outside,

02:59along with one of the Sahabas,

03:01when two small girls were playing the tambourine,

03:06that is the daf,

03:08and they were praising that Sahaba,

03:11his father, how he died in jihad,

03:13and when they started praising the Prophet,

03:15they said, don't praise me,

03:17you can say what you were saying earlier,

03:19indicating that the Prophet did not prohibit them

03:21from playing the tambourine.

03:23Furthermore, there is a hadith in Sahih Bukhari,

03:25volume number 2,

03:27hadith number 987,

03:29where the Prophet,

03:31while he was lying down,

03:33this hadith is narrated by Hazrat Naisha,

03:35may Allah be pleased with her,

03:37she says that two small girls

03:39were playing the tambourine,

03:41when Hazrat Abu Bakr,

03:43may Allah be pleased with him,

03:45the father of Hazrat Naisha,

03:47he comes and he says to them,

03:49just stop it,

03:51Muhammad was sleeping on a cot,

03:53he says to Hazrat Abu Bakr,

03:55let them do it,

03:57these are the days of Eid,

03:59let them do it.

04:01Furthermore, there is a hadith in Tirmidhi,

04:03hadith number 3690,

04:05where a beloved Prophet,

04:07he says that there is a person

04:09that I had vowed to Allah,

04:11that if you come back victoriously,

04:13I will sing and I will play the daf,

04:15I will bind the tambourine.

04:17The Prophet said,

04:19if you have vowed, then do it,

04:21if you have not vowed, then don't do it.

04:23So these hadith do indicate

04:25that musical instruments, per se, is haram,

04:27except for the daf, that is the tambourine,

04:29the Prophet did permit it sometimes.
