CONCLUSION

The simple, straightforward fatwa on the question of music and singing is what the Qur’aan and the Sunnah proclaim. Casting aside the plethora of arguments, differences and technicalities, the unambiguous Ruling of Kitaabullah and the Sunnah of the Rasool is:
• Music and singing are lahwul Hadeeth (futile falsehood), zoor (falsehood / deception) and sautus shaitaan (the voice of shaitaan). (Qur’aan)

• Music and singing are the voice of shaitaan. It germinates nifaaq (hypocrisy) in the heart. It was invented by shaitaan. Allah Ta’ala awarded it to shaitaan at the time of his expulsion from the heavens. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was sent specially to destroy musical instruments. It will be a powerful tool of entrapment of Dajjaal. (Ahaadith)

“And on us is only to deliver the clear Message (of Allah).”(Qur’aan)
