The answer

First: The Abnormality of Current Chanting: What has been mentioned about the state of chanting and chanters has become evident; many of them have deviated from the legitimate Islamic guidelines, becoming indistinguishable from singers in terms of lyrics, melodies, musical instruments, and appearance. Musical instruments have appeared, along with effeminate tunes and words that incite illicit emotions, leading some of them to abandon uprightness and transform into pure singing. Scholars have warned against these transgressions, among them Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan, who explained the proliferation of tapes accompanied by musical instruments until they became closer to singing, even reaching the point of setting some chapters of the Quran to music.

Second: Advice to Curb the Phenomenon: 1. Gentleness in reproaching those who transgress. 2. Highlighting scholarly fatwas that prohibit religiously illicit chants. 3. Showcasing a serious alternative that is free from transgressions. 4. Explaining the importance of religious knowledge and memorizing the Quran, because those occupied with them will not find time for the frivolity of these chants. 5. Mentioning the effect of chanting on the hearts of its listeners, and warning against effeminacy, swaying, and transgressions in "video clips."
