Music has been so normalized that тАЬscholarsтАЭ have even misguided people on it. May Allah forgive us and guide us, aameen.
This will be a long but informative thread on this topic, in shaaтАЩ Allah
Ibn Masud (rAa) said about this ayah: тАЬIt is singing, by the one and only GodтАЭ he repeated it 3x (Tafsir Tabari 11/61)
Ibn Abbas says the same thing (recorded in Adab Al Mufrad), so do Jabir Ibn Abdillah and Ibn Umar. As well as Ibn AbbasтАЩ father (radhiAllahu тАШanhum)
The scholars of tafsir regarding the voice (of Iblis):
Mujahid: It is singing, flutes, distraction, falsehood (Tafsir Tabari 15/81)
Hasan Al-Basri: ItтАЩs the duff and the flute (Tafsir Samani 3/258)
Ibn Abbas said: It is singing. Upon hearing the Quran, they (the mushrikeen of makkah) used to sing and play. (Tafsir Tabari 13/82)
Mujahid also says the same thing in Talbis Iblis by Ibn Jawzi (p. 231)
Ibn Abbas said: The Quraysh would make tawaf around the kabah naked while whistling and clapping.
Mujahid said: They used to oppose the Prophet я╖║ while making tawaf by whistling and clapping, trying to confuse him я╖║ during tawaf and prayer
Ighathat Lahfan (2/274-275)
The word {╪з┘Д┘Д┘З┘И} is again mentioned in these verses. The sahaba said lahwal hadith is talking about music. The same word is used generally in the Quran in these verses. People look to music for amusement/entertainment, that which is forbidden.
Ibn Qasim (rahimahuLLah) said тАЬI asked Malik (Ibn Anas) about singing. He said: Allah the Highest said: *quoted Surah Yunus verse 32*
Then he said тАЬIs it Haqq (truth)?тАЭ
Tafsir Al Qurtubi (14/52)
Ibn Hajar completed the chain of this hadith, it was narrated by Abu Malik Al Ashari rAa.
Prophet я╖║ warns us about the bell
Prophet я╖║ warns us about drums
Similar hadith to the one in bukhari
Quran and Sunnah are clear about this issue. Now, letтАЩs see if the 4 madhabs follow, starting with the hanafis.
тАЬAbu Hanifa, he used to hate singing and considered it among the sinful acts. Same as Sufyan, Hammad, Ibrahim, Shabi and others.тАЭ
This was reported in Talbis Iblis p. 282 and Ighathat Lahfan 1/348
тАЬAbu Hanifah regarding this is from the strictest opinions...
They explicitly mentioned that itтАЩs a sin and the one who engages in it is a fasiq whose testimony is rejected... seeking pleasure is disbeliefтАЭ
тАЬAbu Yusuf said regarding a house which has music coming from it, Enter upon them without permission for forbidding evil is obligatory.тАЭ Ibid
ItтАЩs permissible to smash other peopleтАЩs instruments in the hanafi madhab as Ibn Abidin explains in Hashiyat (5/575)
тАЬThe testimony of the one who sings to people is rejected because he gathering people for a major sinтАЭ
Al Bidayah by Al-Marghinani (3/137)
Malikis say the same: When Imam malik was asked, he said тАЬonly the sinners amongst us do itтАЭ (Talbis Iblis p. 229)
The same is brought by Al Sahnun in Al-Mudawwanah Al Kubra (11/421) and by Shaykh Al Islam Abu Tayyib At-Tabari in Ar-Radd ala man yuhibbus-sama (p. 30)
Dusuqi says тАЬListening to songs is prohibited if they incite ones desire, contain bad words or accompanied by instruments
This can be found in his hashiyat (2/327)
Shafii madhab: Shafii said, тАЬSinging is a hated distraction. It resembles falsehood and idleness. Whoever does it a lot is foolish and their testimony is rejected.тАЭ Sunan Al Bayhaqi (10/322)
Abu Ishaq Shirazi says that itтАЩs haram when accompanied by instruments and beating of the duff is allowed on special occasions which is the exception. Al-Baghawi says the same thing.
Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said singing makes hypocrisy grow in the heart. (Al-Amr bilMaruf wanNahi anil Munkar 164)
he also said тАЬthe flute, pipe, sorna (woodwind instrument), mandolin, lute, rebec and its likes are haramтАЭ Talbis Iblis p. 301
The third type of proof is ijma, which is also found. Al Qurtubi cites ijma in this tafsir under surah 31:6. Ibn Hajar says some scholars have relayed ijma on this issue, in Fath Al Bari - Bab Al Hiram.
Ibn Taymiyah cites ijma of 4 schools (Majmu 11/576)
Ibn Qudamah: Musical instruments such as the mandolin, flute etc are instruments of sin by consensus (Mughni 9/115)
Ibn Nujaim Al Hanafi: Al-Bazzazi reported in Al Manaqib consensus regarding prohibition of singing with an instrument (Bahr Raiq 7/89)
Other scholars such as Ibn Al Qayyim and Al-Ajurri also cited ijma. Albani rh cites ijma of 4 schools like Ibn Taymiyah.
Al-Qadhi Iyyadh went extreme and said whoever denies its prohibition is disbeliever. (Sharh Al Muntaha 9/358)
SubhanAllah
Alhamdulillah, from the information above itтАЩs quite clear that music is prohibited. Since there is a tantamount of evidence from the Quran, sunnah along with some many citations of ijma, any speech of a mujtahid against this is disregarded, whether itтАЩs Ibn Hazm or otherwise.
With that being said, there are exceptions to the rule. If the singing is not women to men, doesnтАЩt contain bad words and doesnтАЩt include instruments, itтАЩs permissible as long itтАЩs not excessive. And we have narrations on special occasions for women playing duff and singing.
This singing for women is only amongst themselves though. Lullabies for babies are also included in this type of singing. and Allah knows best.
ThatтАЩs the end of the thread, if I said something wrong, itтАЩs from me and shaytan and Allah SWT and His messenger я╖║ are free from it.
May Allah protect us from sin (especially that of music). May Allah grant us guidance and increase all of us in beneficial knowledge and righteousness. Ameen
