The subject of music's permissibility in Islam has drawn sizable debate from all corners of the Ummah. There are some scholars that say it is haram (forbidden) in all cases, some that say no musical instruments can be used, and some say it's halal (permissible) as long as it doesn't contain content which violates the principles of Islam (i.e. sex, drugs, violence, profanity). We take the latter viewpoint on this matter. While we are not scholars, we have consulted different scholars on the issue and have made an informed decision.
Take a moment to view the following resources that advocate this viewpoint:
Online Articles
- "Are Singing and Music Haram?" from The Modern Religion
- "Islam's Stance on Music" from Islam Online
- "What Does Islam Say on Music?" from Islam Online
- "Music in Muslim Civilisation" from Muslim Heritage
- "Is music prohibited in Islam?" from Islamic Research Foundation International
- "Regarding an Opinion on the Prohibition of Music" from Understanding Islam
- "A Question of Faith or Dawah" by Yusuf Islam
- "Issue of Singing and Music in Islam" by Muslim Youth of North America
