Is it correct to describe anasheeds (vocal chants/songs) as "Islamic"?
Naming Islamic chants with this name is Islamically correct and their attribution to Islam is valid, due to their conformity with Islamic law and their freedom from anything that contradicts it, such as music and rejected lyrics. The basic principle is that there is no objection to terminology as long as it does not include a false meaning. However, this naming might be prohibited for some chants due to the presence of music or forbidden lyrics in them.
