Music that does not arouse emotions

406

Q 2: Some say that music which does not arouse emotions is Halal (lawful); what is your opinion?

A: All types of music and musical instruments are Haram (prohibited), nothing is excluded, for it was authentically narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, From among my followers there will be some people (Part No. 26; Page No. 249) who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk [for men], the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments as lawful. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
