It was announced that a famous Muslim Nasheed artist si coming to Guyana and there has started the debate about Music, chants/nasheeds/qaseedas with musical instruments and chants/nasheeds/qaseedas without musical instruments. And also chants/nasheeds/qaseedas where the effects of musical instruments are imitated by human vocal sounds. It is very clear that Music is haram and should not be listened to. However, there is some confusion among some of our brothers sisters about chants/nasheeds/qaseedas etc. InshaAllah I plan to share what the learned scholars of our deen has to say on this matter starting with this present fatwa that I am sharing now. "There are conditions to which attention must be paid with regard to this matter: Not using forbidden musical instruments in nasheed. Not doing it too much or making it the focus of the Muslim’s mind, occupying all his time, or neglecting obligatory duties because of it. Nasheed should not be recited by women, or include haraam or obscene speech. They should not resemble the tunes of the people of immorality and promiscuity. They should be free of vocal effects that produce sounds like those of musical instruments. They should not have moving tunes which make the listener feel “high” as happens to those who listen to songs. This is the case with many of the nasheeds which appear nowadays, so that the listeners no longer pay any attention to the good meaning of the words, because they are so entranced by the tunes. And Allaah is the Source of strength."
