What is the ruling on anasheed that contain sound effects resembling music, and are these effects considered to fall under the ruling of forbidden music?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Sound effects either produce sounds similar to musical instruments, thus taking their ruling of prohibition, or their sounds are distinct from musical instruments, in which case they remain permissible in principle. The decisive factor is the audible output: if the sound effects resemble the sound of music to the extent that the listener cannot distinguish them, then their ruling is prohibition. However, if they are distinct from music, then they are permissible.
