Question:
Assalamu wa aleykum dear Shuyukh,
I was talking to a salafi and he gave me some sayings of the Imams 4 claiming to be about the music haraam, I wonder first of all, these sayings are true? they are distorted in their apparent meaning or not included, unfortunately do not have the text link more, but please take this question, because I know some brothers who are really concerned because the music is their livelihood.
Barakallahu Fik,
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
To comfort your soul and please the heart, singing accompanied by music which is not exciting is allowed as long as it is not in any way obscene or harmful to Islamic morals.
