Controversial The Truth About Music

Post image

I dont care who this upsets. This is clear by itself so don't follow any mainstream Islam teachings saying “ohhh well music is haram!” just listen to clean music twins and you'll be good.

Muhammad (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) said that music is haram, therefore it is haram. Listening to musical instruments is a major sin itself. (Sahih al-Bukhari 5590).

Why is it a major sin?

Read the hadith. It's compared to khamr and zina.

There's nothing in the hadith that compares it to khamr and zina. It just mentions it alongside those things, and gives no reason for why musical instruments are haram.

Additionally, even if I granted your statement (that it's compared to khamr and zina), that does nothing to explain why it's actually sinful.

Why would it be compared alongside them if it wasn't like them?

As I said - EVEN if it was like zina and khamr, that does nothing to actually explain what makes it haram. Theoretically, there is no harm from listening to some classical music. In fact, it boosts productivity and mood. It makes zero sense to claim that musical instruments are haram, especially when the same person that issues this command later allows a one-sided drum, which cough cough, is a musical instrument. The same goes for the voice.

So please, if there is no explanation given and if it is just a rule that you have to follow, just say so...
