Naats, nazams and nasheeds
Question
Is it permissible to listen to anaasheed, nazms etc if it does not have any musical instrument involved and follows the rules of Shar'iah i.e. no singing by women. Also if it is not used for entertainment/pleasure and is not interfering in anyway with our ma'mulaat or daily routine?
Answer
Ulama have explained that songs that are sung according to musical notes should be avoided.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
