Is it permissible to sell Western music discs that a person bought for his previous work as a "DJ" in Paris, given the concern about wasting them by destroying them or bothering people by selling them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Listening to music is (forbidden), based on the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) saying: "There will be people from my Ummah (nation) who will consider unlawful sexual intercourse, silk, intoxicants, and musical instruments to be lawful." The scholars have reached a consensus on its prohibition. Therefore, it is not permissible to sell discs containing music to a Muslim or a non-believer, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." These discs must be destroyed, or something permissible should be recorded on them if possible.
