Is it permissible to edit a video clip by deleting its original audio and replacing it with songs, and does the one who does this bear the sin of those who listen to these songs?
It is not permissible to aid in the dissemination of unlawful songs or to listen to them, for this falls under cooperating in sin, which is forbidden by the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Whoever helps spread a sin bears its burden and the burden of those who act upon it after him. Therefore, it is not permissible to process a video that contains unlawful songs, and its owner should be advised to fear Allah and abandon spreading or listening to them. If the video contains other forbidden acts, such as unveiled women, it is not permissible to work on it, even if it does not include songs.
