Is it permissible to attend a wedding that includes musical instruments and vulgar and debased songs, without the presence of an organ or oud, under the pretext that this reduces the sin?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Music is forbidden, and it is not permissible to listen to it. Therefore, it is not permissible to attend a wedding or any other occasion where music is played, unless the attendee will change this evil. The prohibition of music is not limited to the 'oud and organ; rather, it includes everything that is played, except for the daff (tambourine) with its Sharia-compliant controls.
