Question:
Asalamu Alaykum eShaykh,
I abandoned listening to songs sometime in the year 2005. I never really was interested in songs yet I have always had something for plain music. Thus I eventually resorted to listening to soundtracks because they helped me contemplate more effectively.
Kindly inform me if it is permissible to listen to soundtracks.
Here’s an example of what I listen to: youtube.com/watch?v=C_Y6xmxL2hw
Asalamu Alaykum, JazakAllah Khayran.
Answer:
wa ‘alaykum salam,
Yours is not a question of permissible or not, such music is pervasive. For that, see the Post “music”. But why bring such “soundtracks” into your worship space? Instead use what is here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cinta+rasul&aq=f
and things like it.
