Is one who publishes musical clips or videos on a forum for educational or historical purposes, and not for the music itself, sinful?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Publishing musical clips within media content that has a specific message is a mistake and an offense, because listening to music is impermissible, and assisting in it is also impermissible. Such materials are forbidden. The alleged benefit does not permit committing what is prohibited, as it can be achieved through other means far from the forbidden, and the interest of preserving religion takes precedence.
