What is the ruling on listening to beatboxing, which is the sounds a person makes with their mouth similar to music?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for a man to hear another man's voice. However, women enjoying listening to the voices of male chanters or men enjoying listening to the voices of women must be avoided due to the fear of suspicion arising from it. If it is confirmed that women will not be tempted by men's voices, then there is no objection. This is supported by the in Sahihain regarding Anjashah chanting for the camels in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with women accompanying him.
