The question

Is it permissible to listen to the poem "Daththirīnī Ya Munīra" by the poet Nasser Al-Fara'nah, especially with the poet's use of the phrase "Daththirīnī Zammilīnī," which resembles Aisha's description of the Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and does this usage render listening to the poem impermissible?

The answer

"Zammilini" (wrap me) and "Daththirini" (cover me) are neither among the names of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nor from his sayings. Prophetic phrases are not prohibited in poetry. It is permissible to listen to romantic poetry if it is not accompanied by music and if the poet does not explicitly describe a specific woman in it. However, it is better for a Muslim to occupy their time with what benefits them, as listening to such poetry offers no linguistic benefit and may be considered idle talk (laghw) that believers turn away from, as Allah Almighty says: "Certainly will the believers prosper: Those who humble themselves in their prayers; and those who turn away from idle talk." (Quran 23:1-3)
