What is the ruling on money earned from videos of national anthems accompanied by music on social media platforms?
The majority of scholars hold the view that all musical instruments and entertainment tools are forbidden, except for specific items such as the drum (duff) at weddings, and the drums of warriors, hunters, and caravans. Earning money from publishing anthems accompanied by musical instruments on social media platforms is a matter of scrutiny and possibility. It could be argued that the profit is not a direct compensation for publishing the musical instruments themselves, but rather a subsidiary to the anthems, and the rule is: "What is not permissible independently may be overlooked when it is subsidiary." However, this earning is not free from doubt or is closer to being unlawful, and one should abstain from it.
