What is the ruling on introducing musical instruments into Islamic anashid (religious songs), and what is the ruling on this according to the Four Imams?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The use of musical instruments is forbidden by the consensus of the four madhhabs, based on the Prophet's (PBUH) : "There will be among my Ummah people who will permit illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks, and musical instruments." Therefore, if musical instruments accompany Islamic anthems, they become forbidden, and listening to them is also forbidden.
