What is Islams judgement of a person who listens to music of different kinds and songs especially the high sounding music and the evil songs that are aired here in the country?
A11. Basically the recurrence of music is allowed in Islam to listen to. Otherwise Muslims would be prohibited from listening to sounds of birds, the flow of water or the movement of trees by winds, as each has its own music. What is forbidden is to listen to any music or song that is attached to something prohibited or that is used as a means to something prohibited or that which prevented from doing what is a duty. It is, however, clear that songs in this country with all the high sound music accompanying them and the evil meanings repeated by lustful singers and all that leads to raising the desire for dancing, drinking alcohol and evil deeds all this makes such singing and music prohibited in Islam.
