Is it permissible to use human vocal percussions in anasheed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the intended meaning of "human rhythms" in anasheed is the repetition and melodic phrases created by singers' voices without the use of musical instruments, then there is no harm in it, provided it is in permissible contexts. This includes men singing for men, free from anything that incites evil, especially in Islamic anasheed that contain admonitions, wisdom, and encouragement towards good. This is on condition that it does not replace (remembrance of Allah) and worship, or lead to wasted time, and that it does not occur between women and men.
