What is the ruling on listening to poetry from poets accompanied by slight sighs, and is it permissible?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the conditions for the permissibility of listening to poetry are met, then there is no harm in listening to poems accompanied by chanting or voices, without musical instruments. Poetry is organized speech, its good is good and its bad is bad, and some of it contains wisdom.
