If anashid (religious chanting) adheres to the Sharia-compliant restrictions, then it is permissible. However, it is not permissible if it does not adhere to the controls of the Sharia, or if it involves men imitating women, or if it incites fitna (discord/temptation). We advise focusing on the Book of Allah through recitation, memorization, tarteel (measured rhythmic recitation), tajweed (proper articulation), learning, and teaching. There is no objection to recreation that does not involve disobedience.
