Evils of Music & the Music Industry - Hasan as-Somali

Here is a khutbah that was delivered at Germantown Masjid over 6 years ago, on the 9th of October 2015 by Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).

It was posted on their official SoundCloud account about 2 years ago.

Listening to songs is prohibited (harām) due to the saying of Allah:

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ – 31:6

“And of the people is he who buys the amusement of speech to mislead others from the way of Allah without knowledge and who takes it in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.” (Luqmān: 6) The “amusement of speech’ is singing as was explained by a group of the Sahābah such as Ibn Mas’ūd (radiyallāhu ‘anhu).

There is a hadeeth reported in Saheeh Al-Bukhāri (no. 5590) that the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “There will be a people at the end of time who will make permissible fornication, silk (for men), wine and musical instruments ―Allah will cause the earth to swallow them up.” The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) put musical instruments alongside fornication, wearing of silk for men and the drinking of wine (alcohol) ―all of these things are harām. So this proves that music is harām ―that includes musical instruments and singing. (See Al-Jāmi’ fī Fiqhil-‘Allāmah Ibn Bāz, p. 1203)

Allah stated: “And of the people is he who buys the amusement of speech to mislead others from the way of Allah without knowledge and who takes it in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.” (Luqmān: 6) Ibn ‘Abbās said: “It refers to singing.” (Tafsīr At-Tabari) Hasan Al-Basrī: said: “The verse was revealed concerning flutes and singing.” (Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr) Ibn Mas’ūd said: “By Allah besides whom there is none worthy of worship, it refers to singing.” And he repeated it three times. And the same was reported from Ibn ‘Umar. (See Ighāthatul-Luhfān of Ibn Al-Qayyim)

Shaikh Al-Albānī explained that the hadeeths forbidding musical instruments are clearcut without ambiguity, except for the simple drum that is played by women at weddings or on ‘Eid. The Four Imāms: Abu Hanīfah, Mālik, Shāfi’i and Ahmad are in agreement upon this forbiddance. (See As-Saheehah 1/145) [www.abukhadeejah.com]

The People of Innovation Can Hide Everything Except Their Companion - Hasan as-Somali

Often we meet people, we speak to them and what we see from them is Salafiyyah.  We see them implementing the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger.  Then we may see something strange from him.  An opinion he follows or an individual he defends.  It makes us reassess our initial opinion about him.  We don't excuse him from the Manhaj but something doesn't make sense.  Why is this person defending such-and-such? Why is he making excuses for people like Yusuf al-Qardawi and Sayyid Qutb?  As there are no real excuses that can be made for such an individual.    

The more you think about things, the more you question similar situations that have taken place.

You realise that there are many things that you didn't realise.  Things seem to be becoming clearer.  You then decide you look into his companions. Upon further investigation, you realise that his companions are from the Ikhwanis and Qutubis.  After all, he can hide many things, but he can't hide his companions, right?

Here is an excellent lecture by Hasan as-Somali (hafodhahullah Ta'ala) on this exact subject matter.  Delivered on the 22nd of July 2016.  That has been taken from the official Spreaker account of Sunnah Publishing, with their permission.

It has been digitally edited before being released here, walhamdulillah.
