Using music while making zikr
Question
I am very much inspired by tassawuf and zikr of Allah and the guidance of Auliyas in our lives. I want to know, did any of the Auliyas use music while doing zikr of Allah? I have seen a video of a Shaikh who uses music in zikr. Please throw some light about the truth.
Answer
No. In fact the auliyaa had prohibited this. Look at the works of Hadhrat Nizaamuddeen Auliyaa (rahmatullahi alaih).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
