Is singing and music unlawful (haram), and how can one help someone who studies music?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on singing, with or without musical instruments, has been previously clarified. Therefore, we advise you to counsel your friend and explain to him the prohibition of music, that it is the devil's flute, and that earning from it is unlawful. You should also present fatwas, booklets, and audio recordings that clarify its prohibition and its effect on the soul.
