Narrated Abu Amir or Abu Malik Al Ashari that he heard the Prophet saying, "From
among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual
intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical
instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a
mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and
ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will
destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will
transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day
of Resurrection."
[Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol.7 Hadith No.5590]
However, there are some Ahadith which indicate that it is permissible to beat the
‘daff’ i.e. the tambourine (which is open on one side and covered on the other).
Music usually intoxicates a person and takes one away from the path of Allah (swt).
Music engages a person’s mind and takes him/her away from the remembrance of
his/her Creator and from realizing and focusing his/her attention on the purpose of
his/her creation. In musical songs, most of the times the listeners even appreciate
illogical, incorrect and blasphemous matter and content. A person will realize this
when he starts pondering over the meaning of many Hindi and English songs, lyrics
and ghazals. Here we find that it is because of music that the person’s mind is
intoxicated and the person deviates from the straight path. And Allah Knows the Best.
